On 2/8/16, I've requeried Stephanie Abou with Venom. Today I've heard back from her on my nudge--interesting story and premise, not right fit at this time. I'll try her with Chain Reaction this spring.

Though she is closed to queries I sent her a note. A while ago, she read my mss and wrote me a page-and-a-half letter full of positive comments and suggestions for improvement. She asked me to revise and resubmit, but when I did she grew too busy to read it. Still, she continued to express interest. Eventually I withdrew the mss so I could start to submit elsewhere, but she told me her "door" was always open. I doubt she'll give my book consideration at this juncture but as I've made my final revisions (a few revisions after my r&r to her) and I'm now submitting queries for real (not crawling back into a hole, no matter how much it hurts!!) I figure it's worth a shot to ask.

I'm pretty sure that's new -- at least within the last couple weeks. Queried her on the May 9th and didn't notice it.

Hmm, her "about agent" page on the Foundry website says she is not accepting unsolicited material at this time.

Said reason for taking so long was due to a problem with their submission system.
Well at least she bothered to answer. Can put it to rest now.

ER 4/29/14 WOW. a form with mention of having trouble bring my submission out of the system. Dunno? But closure is good.

I've put this ms aside for a bit. Still love it. as do my fans--lol. But another ms is coming down the line. Almost finished w revisions on the newbie!

Rejected. Down to my last 30 agents now. Then that will be 80 agents that were "right" for this type of book. After that it's a major crap shoot. And then it's time to throw in the towel. No way do they read these queries.

11/28/12, I queried Stephanie with Chain Reaction via snail mail. As of today, it's a no response, since no word from my nudge. I'll try Yfat in April with CR.
