@tukykreyes; Good luck to you as well! I think she uses the query to decide whether she wants to read the manuscript.

Ditto @ChevyMoore; I also hit send without actually uploading my completed manuscript. So strange. I guess she'll reach out if the query rocks! Best of luck to you all.

*Thought I was tripping; realized there was no manuscript field after I hit send. So, I’m hoping my query letter is doing what it’s supposed to do. Only time will tell. I’m tired of being in these trenches like I’m stuck in a scene from Mean Girls on a loop. Let me sit with y’all.
