Updating my comment to say that the same query letter she instructed me to rework received multiple full requests within 2 weeks and an offer of rep within 3 weeks, so take it with a grain of salt if you get it, too.

R: 2/2/26 10:36pm - A polite and speedy "fix your query" form rejection.

Q: 02/20/26. Cozy Fantasy
R: 02/20/26
Not even ten hours later and rejected. I'm not surprised as I agree with others who have posted. I submitted more for an experiment. According to QT the genres for Kiana should have aligned perfectly with what I sent. Yet if you go to Manuscript Wish List she's going a totally different way more gritty.
