Email Query: 2/10/23
Kind Rejection: 3/2/23 - said she liked the premise but it was too much fantasy for her. Would query her again with my contemporary romance WIP.

@sland51 - looks like you're a premium member so you should be able to find a report on this under reports / submission response times. You can set the time period for which it tells you. Hope that helps!

Hey everyone, just wondering about a timeline for fulls. Has anyone heard back from a full request, and how long was the wait? Thank you!

I was just wondering if anyone who has queried her has received any kind of confirmation email, apparently my email is very picky about the messages it allows through.

Kind, personalized rejection: 2/7/23. Remembered reading my previous novel, but current submission is too similar to something an existing client is writing.

This is perhaps the strangest rejection I have ever received, and leaves me feeling as though she is absolutely correct! - the entire email copied and pasted, no salutation, no sign off:
I'm not the right agent to represent you. Due to the volume of inquiries, I can't provide specific feedback (and it would likely be subjective or a matter of personal preference anyway), but I very much appreciate you querying and introducing me to your work.

@1edpsf1, I used the email address on her QT profile. It seems to be the same one that's not linking properly on her agency website.

Dear Jami,
I'm not the right agent to represent you. Due to the volume of inquiries, I can't provide specific feedback (and it would likely be subjective or a matter of personal preference anyway), but I very much appreciate you querying and introducing me to your work.

Oftentimes I wonder whether they are too nice to say, "your writing sucks" or "what a ridiculous story idea."
This is getting old.
