I queried Jeanne in December of 2025 with a dark-romantasy and signed in January 2026. Since then, she's secured two contracts for me: a six-figure, 3 book-deal and a special edition deal. She has been absolutely wonderful to work with and so supportive! I would definitely recommend submitting a query if you have something on her wish list. Wishing everyone luck in the querying process!

Rejection within 2 days after what I thought was a really good and thorough query package
Gotta admit, I am losing hope in these trenches. Can only be told it's a subjective, competitive business so many times, ya know?

Queried 2/20/26 - Contemporary Romance 96k
Partial requested 7/20/26 (at 138 days)
Rejection with excellent, personalized and thoughtful feedback: 8/11/26 (35 days)
Just want to share that in the Data Explorer and Reports, these partials often reflect as "full requests" even though they aren't--and that distinction would change the report statistics, if anyone is looking at that. It appears that Ms. De Vita is requesting fulls, but she's actually requesting partials.
