Did anyone receive an auto-reply confirmation? I didn't, but noticed Ann tends to reject quite quickly so I'm unsure I should be feeling hopeful or if it wasn't received lol. I queried 22 days ago.

Update: After advice from others I nudged Ann. If you've gone a while and not heard back, I would recommend doing so as she replied to the nudge quite quickly (after a few days).

Query: 8/12/26 - historical fiction (94,600 words)
Full Request: 8/13/26 (I was so excited and hopeful)
Rejected: 8/17/26

Ann Leslie took the time to write a thoughtful, kind reply -- the nicest rejection I've received to date.
