Originally sent query: 6/25/21
Full requested: 6/25/21
Nudge: Four months later, unresponded
2nd Nudge: Another month later, unresponded, closes out query
Agent reached back out 06/22, asking if still looking for representation. Said she was planning on reading my book next. Reopened full and sent next book per agent's request
Nudge: Three months later, unresponded.
Final nudge: Another month later, unresponded.
Finally closed out query: 530 days later
All I can say to this is...yikes. That was an emotional match of tug and war.

Form rejection: 08/02/2022. Rejection apologized for the delayed response; agent only had my query for three days, so I get the impression she skimmed it at most.

Nudge with revised pages: 7/14/22
As of 11/14/22, Tara has yet to acknowledge my nudge. She has repeatedly stated on Twitter that she responds to all queries and fulls so I'm reluctant to write this one off as a CNR officially but it's been a loooooong year of querying and I don't have much hope left in me.
