Took a real shot with this one and I'm pleasantly surprised by the feedback given to me by Adam on behalf of Tessa. Said that while they found many qualities in the work, and loved the intriguing concept, they didn't connect with the dialogue as much and suggested utilising beta readers and/or critique partners.
All in all, a very lovely rejection letter even finishing off with "we're rooting for you!" :)

Full request 6/9/22 by Tessa Shaffer
Personalized but not terribly helpful rejection 6/14/22 by Tessa's intern Adam...
and I'll be honest, it felt off to have a personalized rejection on a full come from an intern. I'm a little confused why a newer agent who just opened up to queries is not reading their own requested fulls. Rejections are never easy, but this was one of the least impressive I've received.
Somewhat detailed rejection from intern Adam 6/2/2022 (said Dear Tessa) not my name haha....tempted to reply back saying my name is not Tessa but since he is actually one of the few that gave details about the rejection I'll let it slide!
The problem is, it usually takes longer for them to update their websites then it takes them to update their forms.
Please do not query Tessa with:
Thrillers/Mystery
Wartime/Military/Political
Sci-fi
Fantasy
Picture books
Historical Romance
Why does this happen so often? I see "fantasy" in the list of genres on QueryTracker, then go to the agnecy website to find Fantasy is in the "Please do not every query me with this garbage" list.
