I always get a little concerned when an agent requests so many fulls, fingers crossed she manages to read them all!

Not a fit for her list, but I realize now that my word count is beyond the threshold... I didn't see this when researching, and didn't know these comments were here at the time. New to website!

Nudge with deadline about going self-pub: Feb 1

While I do appreciate Jeanne’s quick turnaround time after my nudge regarding going self pub (she replied within 24 hours), she sent me a very wordy email about all the things I needed to change. I felt like this was a pretty inappropriate response given I’d just told her I’m planning on self-publishing next month if querying doesn’t pan out.

Edited to remove the specific feedback. I posted this to help others who might get a wordy rejection from her on a full. Not to get called names by my peers.
If you’d like to know what the feedback was and what she said that was hurtful feel free to message me.
