FR after nudging due to partial request on another project: 10/17/26
Upmarket crime thriller, 88k.
(I really don’t think I was a “maybe” and my query just slipped through the cracks because the form rejection was legit 2 mins after I sent the nudge).

To my fellow “maybe pile” denizens: Tali recently posted on Substack that she is no longer planning to sign one author per genre (as communicated by one of her recently signed clients below). The gaps in her current list are thrillers, upmarket/book club, and grounded sci-fi. Not sure what that means for my now-CNR’ed historical fiction novel, but can’t hurt to keep refreshing this page like a crazy person :)

I know I'm in the maybe pile because she confirmed it, but Query tracker is going to close this one out for me in about 10 days! It's been a long time. Hoping to forget about it and then get a random surprise. :)
