@gaellynch I would reQuery in the correct time period. They probably just delete the ones that come in at other times. I wouldn't even make mention of it.

Just read in her newsletter, she's changed her query status to open on the 10th through the 13th each month. Sent mine 3/17, not sure how that lands. Re-query or not?

Looks like she's closing lots of old queries. Oddly, I didn't get any email notification about this rejection. I just saw it on QT today by chance. I submitted the picture book manuscript over a year ago.

Dear [Wondering],

I hope this message finds you well!

In order to focus on projects that are still available and top of mind for their creators, I am closing older projects in my QueryManager. My apologies for being unable to read this in a timely manner.

If you've secured representation in this time, then I send my sincere congratulations!

If you are still seeking representation and think this project that is still the best representation of your work/the best fit for my list, then I would be happy to see it resubmitted as a query. (If you have already requeried this project in the last few months and it is still showing as open/unresponded to in QM, then you do not need to resubmit.)

I appreciate your understanding, and as always wish you the best of luck in your creative endeavors!

Tracy
