Fortunately my scary story creeped her out! Em was so easy to talk to, and very transparent about her process, communication, and editing style. I am so looking forward to working with her!

Got an R&R request from a different agent on Friday April 2nd.
After chat with other agent, messaged to offer revision when it's ready (est. three or four weeks), as the R&R is non-exclusive.
She replied quickly with a friendly message saying to send it on when ready.
Thought I'd note this as R&Rs are a strange beast and people seem curious about how they go.

"Thank you for allowing me to review the manuscript for [project]. I really love the world you've built and the approach to narrative-as-tool-of-imperialism, and you have a strong writing voice. Unfortunately I didn't connect very strongly with [character 1] or [character 2], so I wasn't particularly motivated by their plight. I wouldn't be the perfect fit for this title, so unfortunately I will have to pass.
Thank you for the opportunity, and good luck with other agents. I am very interested in your writing so if in the future you have another project to query, please consider submitting it to me."

It was really awesome talking to Em, she's knowledgeable and friendly. We agreed to reconnect in a few days, but I got into a writing mentorship on the next day and I want the experience, so I've pulled all my queries. Despite the bizarre situation, she was interested in the revised full once complete!

Cautious optimism about this one, I think I tick a lot of boxes on her MSWL.
Rejection 22/12/20: Disappointed to say the least, short but personalised response. She felt the narrative and and tension worked really well, but had trouble empathising with the protagonist.
Rejected: 12-10-20
