Six months after submitting my requested manuscript, and one month after nudging, I decided to withdraw. To be frank, I wasn't surprised to CNR. Kirsten became an agent less than a year ago. While most new agents are eager to network with other publishing professionals online and put themselves out there to find clients, Kirsten's agency profile links to a Twitter account with some retweets spaced months apart, and she has a writing-related blog with no new posts since Fall 2020. Of course literary agents can be successful without spending their lives on social media, but from what she chooses to share with the public, she just doesn't seem to be embracing the job with enthusiasm.

ladderbird say they do respond to all queries but,,, kirsten sure has a lot of CNR's :( i've had a general query out with her since january (5 ish months) but in the meantime i can't submit to any other agent at the agency even with a different MS. it's a little rough

Polite form rejection.

I'm grateful to have had the chance to take a look at it and I appreciate your patience. I really loved the premise of this book--it's so strong. Unfortunately, it just does not fit perfectly with my needs at this time so I have to pass. I do absolutely encourage you to continue looking for representation because what doesn't work for one agent (or publisher) might work for another. I wish you the best of luck in your search.
