Very kind personalized (!) rejection letter thanking me for my patience and saying that while she was drawn to the concept particularly in today’s climate it ultimately wasn’t for her :)

Seems like most of her recent rejections are for genres she doesn't represent or manuscripts that go way over or under standard word count. Going to CNR for now.

Dear Jennifer Kathleen,

Thank you so much for thinking of me for blank and for allowing me to spend time with your work. While I thought you handled this material with great care, I'm afraid that this just isn't the right fit for my list at this time.

Please remember that the publishing industry is subjective, and what doesn't work for me might be just what another agent is looking for. I really do wish you the best of luck in your writing, and in securing representation elsewhere.

Warmly,
Zoe

She was super, super kind in her rejection and gave a lot of great advice on what she enjoyed and thought I could improve. Ultimately, the book was too upmarket for what the agency was looking for. I really recommend pitching to her - she's been the most helpful agent I've been in contact with this entire process!!

Her Wish List: In adult fiction, she looks for voice-driven stories that subvert reader expectations of their subject matter. She is especially interested in off-putting and unashamed characters, women breaking social expectations, LBGTQ+ characters, grounded magical realism and speculative elements, and insular settings (small towns, amusement parks, summer camps).
Wow . . .

Thank you so much for thinking of me for _________, and for allowing me to spend time with your work. While I thought that this was an interesting concept, I'm afraid that this project leans more into fantasy than the magical realism elements I am seeking at this time.

Please remember that the publishing industry is subjective, and what doesn't work for me might be just what another agent is looking for. I really do wish you the best of luck in your writing, and in securing representation elsewhere.

Warmly,
Zoe
