**Update: Form rejection after 280 days of full submission! Repping work that must have that 'feel'.*
**I had since revised my MS, while I could be in her 'Maybe piles'. But the agent's QT message only accept notification on 'Withdrawal' or 'Offer of Rep'. Seemingly, this agent has a lot of fulls to consider.**

@Avramides I was literally refreshing my browser every 30 seconds until her manager opened. I think a lot of people have been waiting for her to open.
92k Rom-com Feb.15.23
Full Request a few hours later
Nudge with offer Feb 17.23
The kindest of all side steps.

It's amazing- I literally just hit submit on my query and I see 11 queries after mine, and one has a full request already? How is that even possible??!!

Looks like she's processing fulls this week. Give it a week, but if someone is working on closing soon, I'd fire it off before closure.

Not sure if I'm in a maybe pile, but I queried back on 8/31/2022 and it's been 50 days/over 7 weeks. I would really like to query another agent in this agency before they close for the holidays, but I don't want to risk my chances on that being a big no no since I still haven't heard back from this agent :/ Any advice?

@nutmeg618 I also resubmitted over the summer. Per Instagram, she's closing to queries until February to catch up. She must be pretty behind! Hopefully that means we'll hear back soon. Good luck to you!

@StephAlex - Like you, I queried in March (5/11). I got a Full Request in 1 day, and still haven't gotten a decision. I revised my MS over the summer and asked her if she'd like the updated MS. It took her a while to respond, but she finally did reply with the following:
I apologize for the delay. I've been busy with client work which has put me a bit behind on reading submissions, but I am working to catch up. Please submit your revised manuscript and I will get back to you more quickly this time.
Since then, I've sent one nudge with no response, but I do see on the Timeline that she seems to be making her way through her fulls. Hopefully we hear something soon!

@Anna Raven, I queried this agent originally in late March, got a FR within a couple days, and I still haven't heard back. What is your time frame, if you don't mind me asking?
