What a lovely thing to say, chancerychislett. I can assure you, though, the query-go-round makes me just as dizzy as the next gal. Good luck with your request (and thanks for checking out the blog)!

Congrats on the request, its a great sign. Continue querying, though, because she takes her time. I queried, 8/27/2007, got a request for a partial, 9/24/2007, then I got a rejection on June 3, 2008.

Good advice, Prawn. I'm taking a bit of a query break for the holidays, but I'll be back to my normal query-sending routine in January. In the meantime, I'm working on a revise-and-resubmit I picked up a couple of weeks ago on this same manuscript.

Sorry about the rejection on your partial, chancerychislett
I appreciate the post, though. It's nice to know where she's at in her reading queue.Good luck with your other queries/requests.

Naomi got me a quick email letting me know she hopes to get through my partial by the end of the year, so it seems that she's putting an effort on clearing through the requested materials pile. Good luck to anyone out there with work in her inbox.
What was your timeframe from partial sent to rejection? Was it a form? Still waiting on mine.
Thanks for the info.

Queried on 11/18 and received a partial request on 12/23. Surprised me because it had been awhile since my query, and so close to Christmas.

I originally emailed Elaine mid-September, and got a rejection shortly thereafter (didn't put the date I got rejected on my spreadsheet, just marked it off as 'rejected'). On October 29th, I ACCIDENTLY queried her again! I somehow must've overlooked her on my spreadsheet (this has NEVER happened before). Anyways, guess what was in my inbox yesterday? A request for a partial! The funny part is, the two queries weren't all that different. That is so strange to me . . . Who knows, maybe she was in a bad mood the first time she read it ;o) lol. Either way, I'm thankful for the second chance )

Good luck to those of you with submissions out

Sad news, looks like Ms. Hackenberg's heading out of the business. She's had a partial of mine since Christmas Eve and I (along with several others on QT) got this response today:
Oh, that's too bad! Guess that means I'll have one of those e-mails waiting in my inbox, too...
Yep. Got mine. I've had a partial with her since September. It's kinda funny, 'cuz this is the SECOND time I've had material (the first time was a full) with an agent who then decided to leave the industry. Boooooooo.

Yeah, same here. I had a full back with Brendan Deneen before he left, like a year or so ago with my last book. They said everything would get passed on to another agent and you'd be contacted, but I never did.
I have a feeling, due to some rumors, that another agent I have a partial out with right now is going to be leaving too. We'll see how it plays out!
