I got a full request yesterday from Laura. I sent the book and 24 hours later I received the most polite rejection letter I have come across. I thanked her for the opportunity.
Sorry about the R. Doesn't mean she didn't read it though. Some agents are that fast.No question in my mind, this agent doesn't read queries. Sent mine on a Sunday, answered in an hour. Don't waste your time.
I have a theory about Laura Langlie. She employs an e-jection 'bot that auto-rejects 99.5% of the queries it receives. The remaining 0.5% get a request for a manuscript (full or partial) which are then expeditiously auto-rejected, usually within 24-48 hours. A very efficient system.
Of course, it's just a theory.
She most certainly reads queries. She's prompt, professional, and wonderful to work with.
1. She represents me now.
2. Unsolicited query.
Also, did Reality-Check join just to make that post? lol.
Maybe in a week or two I'll try again, this time with pages. She wouldn't remember me, would she?
Actually, I bet she would. Damn it I BLEW IT FOREVER.
Pages won't make any difference if she rejected you on the query.
