@hanhanvanjasp - If an agent is high on my list, I will nudge unless they state that it's an automatic rejection after a certain timeframe. Good luck!!

I marked as CNR at 199 days, but I'm wondering if I should open and nudge or just open and cross my fingers. It seems like her reply rate is so high, even late.

MLBesold,

Yeah, sorry, that definitely sounds like a form letter!

Submitted query and first three chapters on 6.9.24.
Received rejection today 9.17.24, which I believe was a form rejection.

"Thank you again for submitting to me!

I enjoyed spending time with *******, and I'm grateful that you gave me the opportunity to do so. However, I do not feel I'm the right agent for it, and I'm sorry to say that I am respectfully passing on your query.

Please know that, because I have such a full client list, I'm forced to be extremely selective with the queries I choose to request and pursue. While I'm not able to provide further feedback due to time constraints, please know how much I appreciate you choosing to share your work with me.

I thank you very much for querying me, and wish you the best of luck finding the right agent!"
