@banana00 She has a really generous submission package (3 chapters is a LOT, especially for SFF) and has received 600 queries after being open for a week...I think unless you sent it on the 7th right when she opened, you should buckle in for another long wait. Which again, I do think is completely understandable with a 3-chapter package!

Thanks so much for sending [title] my way. While this sounds like an interesting story, and one that I'm crossing my fingers will find a home, it doesn't sound like the best fit for me at this time. But thank you again for considering me, and best of luck in querying!

"Thank you so much for thinking of me for [TITLE], and please accept my sincere apologies for my long response time. At the moment, I am transitioning out of Rees Literary Agency and to a new agency, where I'll be starting in mid-March. I would love to hear from you again once I'm open to queries this spring, but in the meantime, I wish you all the best!

Note to self: Definitely query her on this project (or others that deem fit to her new MSWL) if there's no takers (lol), when she opens to queries later. She's one of my dream agents and I wish her all the best, as she's moving to her new agency.
