Got a like from them yesterday on UnhingedPit.
I guess they didn't even remember the plot or two main characters names (sigh)! Double disappointment!

I did follow guidelines. It didn't mention word count but the industry says over 20k for 7-9 yr olds. I've checked and rechecked. Maybe they only take Upper MG and didn't specify (sigh) Thanks for the link, will take a look :)

Maybe, but it wasn't the agent herself who emailed so I doubt she saw it. I think likely a reader or admin as the name's not on the website. I shall keep going. Fastest rejection ever though!

Yes QM. I wonder if the drop down category filtered me out. I had LOWER MG on letter with age targeted, but drop down only offered MG. If standard MG is over 30k that might explain it!
The agent's website said looking for A, YA, MG, Children's & picture books. I was a fit with her wishlist.

Was I turned down on word count by a glitching AI?

Thanks for responding. I'm querying a YA but I'm also passionate about my WIP. I did posters for both, so may as well go for it :)

Incoming!

Hoping this will be a series, but yes, there is that :) But would a US agent want to rep a book with a British setting or doesn't it matter as they sell globally? I've done my first small batch to UK agents but they are always slow to respond. I'm impatient for my first rejection ha ha

I've just finished a MG YA crossover but it has a British setting.
Is that an issue for a US agent?

I'm in. Also on Twitter under same name :)

I made one too. It's not great as only have the free Canva but I had fun!

Love it!
