I received Mr. Yarn's rejection for representing Hatchings this afternoon. He did have a nice thing to say about the partial, but just didn't feel it was for him.
jumped on the spin-a-good-yarn bandwagon minutes ago! jason yarn does seem rather improbable to me, more of a myth than a real person!! let's see what he says!

I decided not to do the rewrite Mr. Yarn has asked for. He answered my questions explaining what he wished corrected, and a part of his explanation confirmed my concern that the revision would strip the book of its individuality. He commented on the book's strong voice (positively) and then said that he liked the voice exactly in the parts he was not comfortable with and wanted re-written. Well, wouldn't it dull the book? Remove those parts = no voice left.
So, I'm not pursuing Paradigm.

Got a request for resubmission after making changes, so I'm off to see what I can do with the suggestions.

I'm waiting on a partial for my YA Contemporary...thought i'd say which one since unfortunately I have several! LOL
anyone lucky enough to get an offer yet? It would be great to hear from someone who is reped by these guys.
jason yarn rejected my full today... sob. it was a personalized rejection, but a rejection all the same.
here's my timeline: i queried him with the first ten pages on July 18, he confirmed he'd received the mail on July 20, he asked for a full on July 24 and he rejected (ouch! the word still hurts...) me on Aug 17.

I queried him about a week ago and didn't receive an acknowledgment that he got it. Anyone else have a similar experience?
Moost, it's a busy time of year so maybe that's it? Or maybe he's getting so bogged down with subs he's no longer doing that?
Just to throw out more info on Jason, I've got nothing but great things to say about him. He requested my full in April and gave me an offer in August. Although I ended up signing with someone else, it was a tough call. He seems like a great guy and has a wonderful eye for editorial stuff.

I queried Aug 29 and never received an acknowledgement either. Perhaps he's not doing that anymore. I imagine its time consuming.

querytracker.net is a good place to find response times. For Alyssa, her median response time is 61 days, with a range of 7 to 73 days.

I queried her over the summer - query sent 6/10 and a very nice response (R, but nice all the same) on 7/30. So, it took a little while.
He has my full mss. right now. I will let you know how it goes. So far my experience with Jason Yarn has been both courteous and professional.
Good luck to you all!

I queried her on July 1st and got a request for the full ms on September 10th. Then I was out of town for a funeral and forgot to respond so I just got another email from her today asking for it. I'm so embarrassed about letting it slip by.
