Enjoyed the concept but was too long. Completely understand and really appreciate that she took the time to provide such feedback.

She seems to respond quickly, 4-7 days, and I’m hoping I’m in the maybe pile since it’s taking longer
Update: after 21 days I got a rejection
I’m really bummed out. I think this is my last query for this book. I have to accept it won’t publish

“Thank you so much for the privilege of reading your work. Unfortunately, after reviewing your material, I do not believe ___ is a fit for my list at this time and so I will have to pass. Though I am unable to give personalized feedback, please know that this decision is based on personal taste, and thus very subjective. What doesn't work for me may still be right for someone else. Your story deserves to be heard. Keep querying, even if it's out of spite!

I feel very fortunate to have read your work, and I hope you'll keep me in mind for future projects. Thank you for considering me and best of luck with your future queries. I will definitely be cheering you on! “

Query sent: June 5th
Formal rejection: June 21st

The rejection seems nice on the surface, but don’t be fooled, it’s just a standard one that everybody receives.

“Not right for my list, but… I feel very fortunate to have read your work, and I hope you'll keep me in mind for future projects. Thank you for considering me and best of luck with your future queries. I will definitely be cheering you on!”
