Got a rejection from Joanna Stampel...very nice personal letter saying she really liked my writing but alas wasn't for her. As for stats, I sent a query via email on May 13, she requested a partial on May 15 and rejected via email on June 2.

steam, which e-mail add did you send to? Do you have know what genre she handles?
Sorry about the R, good luck on your other submissions.

I just thought I would add that I too am awaiting a response from my full that Joanna requested. My poor email account is going to be checked every ten freakin' minutes for the next week or two, however long it takes. Ha! I'll let everyone know how it goes!!

OMG!!! I'm thinking that's THE CALL! Most agents don't bother calling if they are going to reject you, so unless you come off as a COMPLETE nut-job then I think you are about to have an agent!!!! CONGRATS!!! Keep us posted!
:hooray:

Was gonna say, based on Kody's experience, that's probably the call right before she offers you representation! *throws confetti* Just stay calm and cool. You'll do fine. And of course, let us know how it goes.

I just got off the phone with her......holy crap you guys I GOT A FREAKIN' AGENT!!! Oh man I'm seriously like losing my mind screaming and dancing around and everything. One thing I can say with full confidence is that this would have NEVER happened if it weren't for the people at AW. I honestly can't say it enough how thankful I am for this amazing fucking website.

I was not expecting for her to call so soon after I sent my number... turns out she just checked her email ten mins after I sent it...but what's even more mindblowing to me is that I sent the query on Monday night! (It's the same Thursday now for anyone who reads this in the future.) The full was requested Tuesday morning. I was expecting to be abusing my email every ten seconds for the next two weeks...I can't believe it. I have opened like 60 rejections so I was so so so used to just reading the same thing...and FINALLY came a yes...

I don't even care that I had to fight vomiting through the entire convo (Literally... I'm three months preggo LOL!). That was the most exciting and surreal phone calls ever!

<3 I LOVE YOU GUYS!

Electric Violet I am so happy for you! This is so great. And you know what was awesome, the comment about how you have opened like 60 rejections. That just makes it even better.

Congrats hon!
