Sent Query at 9:32pm on 8/11/25. 80K Adult Romantasy
My last project, Ms. Dystel requested my full manuscript within a few hours. While she passed on that project, she sent encouraging feedback. Here is to second chances! Crossing my fingers this is the manuscript and this my agent. Manifesting and praying that I'm not posting back in the next few days that she is passing!

But the form rejection was personalized? Responder made a play on words with my title, which made me laugh.

Queried via email: 6/18/2025
Query resent: 8/13/2025 (8 weeks, per the guidelines on the agency's website)
Full request: 8/14/2025
If you haven't heard back on your query in 8 weeks, I highly suggest sending it again and mentioning the previous query at the start of the letter. It seems a vast majority of people who nudge after 8 weeks get a full request. Although this seems to be more of a courtesy than a reflection of the initial query material, it means your full manuscript is in front of an agent. I count that as a plus.
