Oct 16 partial request.
Oct 17 sent .
Jan 2 request for the full with the message, “I've just finished reading the pages I requested for [title], and I can't wait to read more!”
Jan 5 full requested TWO more times (in two messages worded slightly differently but full of enthusiasm for the manuscript) as I had not had a chance to get to it. I assumed she was nudging me because she really couldn't wait to read the balance.
Jan 5 uploaded. Query tracker has the document marked as “uploaded successfully” on Jan 5.
Feb 12 agent writes back rejecting the PARTIAL with a form letter.
Feb 12 I write back to say she had the full, not the partial and that she really enjoyed the first 5 chapters.
Feb 12 she writes back claiming she never got the full, doesn't want the full because though she loved the premise and didn't find fault with the writing, she didn't fall in love with first 5 chapters.
I have no clue what happened. No words. "Devastated" maybe?
