Within one minute, a beautifully-worded full R, sent same day. I was excited about this one!
Nudged w/ offer of rep 08/10/21.
Date to respond came and went without word, so CNR. Wouldn't hesitate to work with him though, I think he just responds to what he wants to pursue. Go into querying him with that in mind: silence is a rejection.
84k thriller.

Waters RF only a week or so after he received my query. That was December 15 and still not a word from him. Nudged in April, no response. It’s unfortunate.

I hate to add to the pile-on, but I've queried Mitchell twice for two separate projects, and both times he has enthusiastically requested the full manuscript within minutes before vanishing into thin air. He seems like a nice enough person, but I think he just needs a good assistant to help him manage his queries and submissions. This repeated ghosting after requesting material from authors is concerning and unprofessional, and it seems to be hurting his reputation among potential new clients, which is too bad, because he otherwise strikes me as being better than this.
