3/6 - email query
3/30 - 100-page partial request (upgraded to a full immediately because I coincidentally got my first offer like an hour before the partial request)
4/5 - Genevieve sent the nicest, most tearjerking email ever about how much she loved my book and was "so hopeful" they could find a place for it at WH. She asked if I would be open to other agents at WH considering if it wasn't a fit for Amy. I obviously said yes!
4/11 - amazing email from senior agent Hannah Mann who wanted to set up a call
4/12 - Offer from Hannah!
I *highly* recommend querying Amy. Genevieve is seriously lovely and so, so kind over email. It doesn't really sound like Amy is adding a lot of people to her list, but from reading other comments, it sounds like Genevieve is very willing to pass manuscripts on and get people offers if they're a fit for the overall agency.
