I took a Speakeasy workshop with Susan last fall. Part of the package was a query critique. At the end of January, she sent me her comments, told me my query was "spot on," loved the story idea and asked for pages! I sent her the first 20, per her submission requirements, on Jan. 28. No response yet.
I received a rejection 6 months later.

Thank you for sharing your book with me, I’m grateful for the opportunity. I’ve had a chance to read and unfortunately, have decided to respectfully pass. I send this with recognition of the accomplishment that is writing a book and querying it, no small feat. Keep writing and querying—that’s the best way to find an agent.

I completely forgot I queried Susan Feb 2022 for my YA fantasy. I accepted an offer of rep from an agent in March and just received my rejection from Susan three minutes ago. Lol!
Good luck to everyone still on the search for an agent. Don't give up!

Has anyone nudged Susan? Her website says "If you don’t hear from me within that time [four weeks], feel free to query again."
That seems to indicate sending an entirely new email (rather than replying to the auto-reply), but I wasn't sure how to indicate it's a nudge/duplicate email.
