EQ: 4/17/23 (conference attendee)
Nudged with offer of rep : 6/22/23
FR: 6/26/23 !
Offer of rep: 7/5/23 !!!!!!!!!!
I'm so happy to now be represented by Quressa, her thoughts aligned perfectly with mine for the project. She was so kind and gave me an idea of where we will begin edits. I couldn't be happier with choosing her to be my agent !
Also, for folks who've been at this for a minute, I've been interested in being agented by Quressa since 2020 but I hadn't been able to query her until this year when I spent the last of my money to attend a writers conference that I didn't even realize she was going to be at! (Thats a longer story lol) but I'm still in shock that it happened, and so so happy. I guess my point is, keep going <3

'Dear [name],
I read and respond to each and every query I receive. I try to read queries within 4 - 6 weeks, but occasionally it may take longer. If it has been longer than six weeks and you have not received a response, I am backlogged and [TITLE] is still under consideration.
Thank you for your patience!

'Dear [name],
It may not seem this way, but saying no is tough for me. I'm sure hearing it is tough for you, but it's really important for me to fall in love with a project and that just did not happen in this case. Please know that I really appreciate your patience during this process and I truly wish you the best of luck in finding the right agent! I'll be rooting for you!
