FQ: 2/12/2022
Full Request: 02/14/2022
Nudge: 05/15/2022 She responded stating she hadn't started it yet but if I hadn't heard from her by mid-june to reach out.
Rejection: 07/12/2022 almost 150 days

I can't say the rejection was a form or personalized but it wasn't helpful. She stated she love many things about my manuscript but didn't feel like it was right for her list.

@smjekw Can confirm that Shari is fine with allowing 2 weeks to let you consider the offer. I was happy to sign with Shari for many reasons, and part of that was she was super helpful and patient during the 2 week period. She answered several additional questions I had after our initial call, and she also made sure to encourage/remind me to follow up with other agents who were considering my work. I have no direct info on Marlene, but working with Shari was great!
