Submitted R & R: 2/25
Personalized rejection: 3/28
She gave great personalized feedback on what to work on and said I could resubmit if I made the changes! I know R&Rs are a long shot, but I think this agent is worth it, so I'm going to give it a shot.
Update: I got my personalized rejection today. She was perfectly lovely, but I'm still pretty bummed. It feels like I did achieve what I set out to do, but something about it still wasn't to her liking. I know that's the nature of R & Rs. You put in extra work and it still might not match what they're hoping for. I'm still glad I at least gave it a shot. She did say I seemed close though, and she wished me well. She seems like she'd be lovely to work with and I wish all of you luck.

My comment: I'm non-white. She responded quickly, which was nice.
Thank you for taking the time to submit your query and for considering me as your potential literary agent. Your project is not a fit for my list right now, but I wish you all the best in your publishing endeavors.
Sincerely,
Kristin Ostby

(I must mention that a couple of months ago, I won a query critique by Kristin. She gave me some helpful feedback. I incorporated it and queried her. Perhaps that helped..)
