                Queried: 5/21/24 - Memoir
Full Request: 5/22/24
Sent Full Manuscript: 5/22/24
Rejected: 7/16/24
Received a very kind rejection after she had read my manuscript which gave me some hope. Said the writing was strong and the story compelling, but that she didn't personally feel connected to the story enough to represent it. I was very grateful for her thoughtfulness.

                I'm posting this here because the Timeline makes it difficult to determine wait time on full requests after a partial. 
Query: 5/2
Partial request: 5/7
Full Request: 7/24
Full Request sent after revisions: 8/1
Nudge: 11/20
Waiting on reply. I had a hard time determining typical wait time after a full, so I will update when I hear.
From the comments below I'm seeing
1 three month wait
2 one month wait
1 four month wait that ended in an offer of rep
