had a unique situation:
Dec 4 query
Dec 8 full request
Jan 3 mostly form pass on full
Jan 5 I contacted her about an R&R that I've been working on for another agent, describing the changes. I asked if she'd be interested in seeing the new version and she responded quickly: YES!

Still working on the R&R but will send later this month.

Rejection 8/1/2022 - form letter

Note: Initially viewed her on the LA site. Says she's closed to queries until 9/15. I should have seen that! Agents are known to immediately dismiss someone who misses the details. Be careful!
