While her genre list includes book club, historical, upmarket, mystery, etc., per Publisher's Marketplace, she's sold a total of 4 books: 3 are non-fiction children's picture books and 1 is a non-fiction parenting book. Makes me skeptical she has the editorial relationships to sell an adult fiction book of any kind.

Maybe the most frustrating rejection yet. She MSWL'd for a story that was a dead-on match for my book. She wanted a book about a person with a disability using something from their disability perspective/experience to solve a mystery. I'd written that book. She requested a full. She read it. She says she loved it. We had a chat and she requested other ideas I had in the works, I sent her three and she rejected me based on those. In short, she rejected me for books I haven't even started writing yet.
