FQ: 5/06/2021 following a pitch contest like. I already had a query out with a colleague of hers but she said to send it to her anyway.
Full Request: 6/23/2021. Submitted immediately.
Rejection: 07/15/2021. She said very nice things about the book, but she felt she wasn't the right person to represent it. Definitely the nicest & most encouraging rejection I've ever received!

"Dear raktinope,

"Thank you so much for sending TITLE my way. While this sounds like an interesting story, and one I'm sure will find a home. I'm going to pass at this time. I thank you again for considering me, and best of luck in querying!

"Best,
