Queried 05/18/25
Nudged 08/11/25
QT Automatic CNR 09/16/25 (121 days)
Rejection 09/29/25 (134 days) - I'm guessing my word count is too low? Not sure because rejection didn't have desired word count filled out. Either way, feedback is feedback. I'll take it.
"I'm afraid this story might require further editing in part due to your word count of 67000. In Young Adult: Fantasy, submissions should be in the XX,000-XX,000 word range, especially for a debut."
YA Fantasy, 67K
Update - Eva reached out again to let me know she accidentally sent me the wrong form! Nothing wrong with my word count; my project is just not a fit for her! I appreciate her taking the time to reach out and clear the confusion! She's super nice!

Queried on 7/18
Rejection on 9/29 (at least it wasn't yesterday on my bday ha)
LGBTQ+ Adult Fantasy: 95K
Thank you so much for the opportunity to consider xxx. While there were elements of your pitch that I enjoyed, in the end, I do not have the enthusiasm for this project to be the right person to champion it forward.
Pretty devastated. I felt SO good about this submission and Eva was my highest priority agent. Time to figure out what to do next.
