After 17 days for a 120k word suspense, I received the same form letter others have shared. My only complaint/disappointment was it would have been awesome to be repped by Gina, but I do appreciate getting a response, and as form letters go, this one is quite considerate.

Dear ___,
Thank you for submitting your project, _______. I read your materials with interest, and did find a great deal to recommend the project, but ultimately, I just wasn't as enthusiastic about the concept as I had hoped to be.
Naturally, this is a highly-subjective opinion, and I'm sure other agents will feel quite differently.
I do appreciate you thinking of me with this project, and I sincerely wish you every success.
Regards,
Gina Panettieri

I believe she responded personally, to my query. She was encouraging and respectful.
Thank you for sharing your query and sample pages with me. I enjoyed reading them and certainly found the concept intriguing. Regrettably, though, I'm going to pass.
While there's a great deal to recommend the story, I didn't find myself engaging with the characters. Naturally, that's a very subjective issue, and I'm sure another agent will disagree.
Again, thank you for thinking of me and I wish you every success with this project and with all of your writing endeavors.

@masonparkerwrites I would just reach out to her on Twitter if she reached out to you on there. Typically it's ok to use social media if they reach out to you there first. Good luck!

The agent told me on twitter that I am on her maybe pile. How long should I wait? It's been ten weeks since submission, and the website says to email after four, but I can't find an email for my life. Anyone have any idea?
