Full request the following day with the most complimentary comments I've received so far on my opening pages.
I'm at the high end of her response time now (22 days and counting), so of course I've turned into a twitching bundle of nerves.
108k adult upmarket horror
Update 10/10/24: rejection at 31 days. She loved my writing but had issues with the plot. Super bummed…she seems amazing.
Update 1/15/25: Had another agent express interest in an R&R based on feedback that was identical to Hayley's, so I asked if she'd be interested in reading an updated version and she said yes!
