I participated in #DVPit this past October and got a like from her! Sent her my query (adult romantasy) on 10/14. 101 days later, still haven't heard from her. Wonder what it is about my query + pages that's making her so indecisive? Guess I'll eventually find out!

I do like how transparent she is on Twitter. It's nice to know she hasn't forgotten those of us who've been in the queue for a while!

SAME DAY EDIT: omg, full request!! Such a sweet note, too, apologizing for the wait.

@KathrynFaye007, I almost did, but she said on Twitter I think that she was aware that some have been waiting awhile and she promised to get to them, so I didn't want to bother her.

2/22/2024: Cute/Nicely-worded rejection. The book just wasn't for her. She's not a cozy fan, y'all, FYI. Keep it dark and pace-y with her.

Rejected on May 5, 2024 (Sunday) (So maybe take it as she doesn't always work inside 8-5 M-F hours).
Queried April 29, 2024

Same message as everyone else.

The same sweet message about loving the voice and concept but it not being right for her.

edit: she liked my "shoot your shot sunday" pitch tweet - I've revised the first chapters and shortened the overall wordcount, but I'm pretty sure that's not enough to warrant me fully resubmitting it? Plus this wasn't an actual pitch event, so I don't know if that was the intention. The like felt nice, though! :)
