Extremely kind reply stating the word count is a bit too high for what she’s looking for right now.

Her name is not listed on the agency website so it was difficult to find information on what she's looking for.

Rejection within 62 days: said the topics were too heavy but liked my voice and encouraged me to submit in the future. I appreciate the personalized reply, although confused as to why she requested the manuscript in the first place as in the query letter, the main premise is dealing with a character's drug use.

Note to all: don't query her with heavy topics! Seems like a great agent otherwise :)

Queried 7/23/21, heard back not even an hour later. Helpful rejection on YA 83,000 with heavy topics. Really appreciate her promptness.

"Thank you for considering me to represent your work. Unfortunately, I am not the right fit for stories with depression and abuse taking such an important part in the plot. This is extremely subjective, and I do think your premise is good, but I wouldn't be the right person to advocate for this novel.
I wish you success on your path to publishing.
All best,
Elisa"

Received feedback from another agent about query on the 14th of June so I asked her if it would be okay to resubmit with updated query. She said yes (she was very kind and polite).

Resubmitted: 14th of June
