Very confused by the website. The submission page says to send a query letter to jennifer@theunteragency.com, although I noticed that that appears to be Jennifer Unter's email, and not Jen Nadol's. I followed the directions, though. I hope it gets through.

A personalised, helpful and kind rejection note. Historical fiction (only a subplot in my title) ‘has been difficult to place of late.’
ER 11/16/21
Same day. Don't believe it was a form (might have been?). At least she's fast. Knows what she's looking for and this wasn't it, it seems.

Personal rejection on 11/15/2021
Very nice rejection informing me she's working on a similar project with another writer already.
FR 11/12/21 at least she's fast
partial request (first 10 pages) 11/10/21
Looks like she requests a lot, hope I've got what she's looking for!
rejected the partial 11/12/21
ER 11/10/21
Very prompt personal rejection emphasizing that it was a matter of personal preference regarding character voice.
ER: 11-10-21
Quick response time. She said my novel sounded "intriguing," but that historical fiction doesn't have a market right now, something I'm a little dubious about.
EQ: November 3
PR of proposal & sample chapters: November 5 (sent same day)
ER: Kind rejection complimenting the writing and story, but passed as memoirs are hard to place and there are a lot of travel memoirs on the market.
I appreciated the prompt responses and the professionalism.
Query sent: 14th Oct
First 10 pages request: 14th Oct (sent same day)
First 50 pages request: 15th Oct (sent same day)
Really quick turnaround time! Love her <3
Rejected on 10/14, but with a helpful, personal note.

"Thanks for your query, but I'm afraid this doesn't sound like a fit for me. I'm going to pass, but appreciate your getting in touch and wish you the best with this project.
Best,
Jen "
PR -- 9/28
ER -- 10/05 Bummed. Nice note though...
ER Short but friendly rejection. "Feels a bit outside my wheelhouse." I can't argue with that. Nice, quick response though. 10/4/2021

Short but personal, with comment on what she's specifically looking for in middle grade. I appreciate that bit of info, as it lets me know it's not the manuscript per se, but that it doesn't fit what she wants. Plenty of agents will tell you that "it's not a fit" without telling you why, so I find Ms. Nadol's comments helpful.
