Q: 12/1/2025: Sci-fi, 70k
I had a watch notice on Ms. Smith, which said she was open to queries yesterday, so I did; however, I'm not expecting a reply. She's supposedly only open for the first 10 days of every month (except December), so perhaps the "open to queries" setting was an automated feature, because she went back to "closed to queries" shortly after I submitted. We'll see.
Or...maybe my manuscript was an early Christmas wish for her and she thought, "That's it. It can't get any better. No more queries this month."
