@Sleepymillennial It reads like that now! I'm sure it wasn't like that when I submitted in August.

Does Jodi's new guidelines say that you submit the full manuscript with your query letter? That's what I assumed.

It's been 202 days thus far and when I contacted her for a follow-up, her assistant said that my novel was still under consideration. I will try to update people when I get an answer.
No shock here! REJECTION after 211 days and needing to resend my materials.

Thank you so much for your patience as Jodi considered TITLE. She regrets that her busy schedule does not allow for a personal response, and has requested that I respond on her behalf.
I’m sorry to inform you that Jodi is unable to offer you representation at this time. Due to an already crowded client list, Jodi is forced to be highly selective when considering new clients. She prioritizes passionate and enthusiastic representation for every writer she works with, and so she has chosen to step aside and allow you to continue your search for an agent who can best advocate for you and your work.
We truly appreciated the opportunity to see your material and commend you for the work that so clearly went into crafting it. Please keep in mind that this is only one opinion in a subjective business, and we wish you the best of luck in your continued search for representation.
Thank you again for sharing your work, and for thinking of Jodi

I’m curious- do they ask for everyone’s full manuscript? I got really excited but now I’m wondering if it’s just standard to request and read.

A few days later, the email changed....and requirements changed (I think? Still confused about this).
Nudged 1/26/23 to make sure my query was not lost in the changeover. I got a reply from new assistant (Anqi) within 24 hrs that i was still under consideration but they skipped the part where I asked for a timeline. SIGH.
"Hi Sara,
I can confirm that your query made it safely through the email change, and that it is still under consideration! Thank you for checking in.
Best,
Anqi"
So current query age is 57 days.
I KNOW these guys are slow. But at least I have some validation I'd still in the mix, I guess?
I sent a standard query...query letter, 1st 10 pages of mss.
