Writer beware: she spent all of 2022 signing new clients right and left. Then she dropped a bunch of us after only a few months.

@flowermiss53: I just had the exact same experience. I queried Laura Stone earlier in the month, got rejected. I queried Dawn Dowdle today and got back a email about how she had rejected this earlier in the month and there didn't seem to be any significant revisions. I thought the vibe was terse. I wonder how this mistake keeps happening.

I queried Laura Stone and received a form rejection last month. Then yesterday, I queried Dawn Dowdle and she wrote back within a few hours that she had already rejected this last month. It was a polite response, and didn't have an unkind vibe, but just to inform me. So, I'm thinking a pass from one is a pass from all. I never saw that on the webpage; otherwise, I wouldn't have queried Dawn. Just to let you all know ..

She might have thought that agent would be better suited for the project and passed it to her. Or, she could've given it to her to help build her list and she rejected it. Usually, if it's a rejection from one, then it's a rejection from all. Based on agent advice from blogs, query something different.
