Hi,

Thank you for your query. Please note that I respond to every query I receive. However, due to my client workload, it may be a few months before you hear back so that I can give your query the time and attention it needs. Please let me know if you receive another offer of representation or if you are withdrawing your query.

I look forward to reviewing your work,

Sera

Dear ____,

Thanks for checking in. I am still considering this submission. I respond to every query I receive. I hope to have an answer for you soon.

Thank you for considering me,

Fingers crossed! She seems really committed to representing marginalized voices.

My query has closed after 121 days because no response from the agent. Agent that I did meet at a writer conference and who said they were interested in reading more and encouraged me to query through this platform when their wondow opens.
Apparently, they open their queries every 1-10th each month...

121 days later, and I know they have opened again in the meantime. Maybe stop opening for queries and start replying to the ones you got ;)

Query sent: 3/6
Form Rejection: 7/9
