Jenny is the best. I've corresponded with her on several occasions and she's always prompt and kind and gracious. She provided helpful, specific feedback that was exactly what I was looking for. No R&R. I think she's so busy she doesn't have the time to invest in someone who's not her client. Now, back to editing!

Same as others here, very helpful, specific thoughtful comments that will really help with revision.
Have others here responded to the email with a thank you? I really want to but I have seen comments saying they get so much email we shouldn't clog it up with thank you notes. Has any one gotten an R&R from her? She asked to see future projects but not a rewrite of this one.

"Thanks so much for being in touch. I'm flattered that you thought of me for this, but it just didn't strike a chord. I do admire the quality of the writing and the execution and I'm sorry it wasn't a fit for me. Please do consider trying a different agent at the Bent Agency! Wishing you the best with your writing—

Her rejection was extremely kind, praised the quality of the writing, and included "Please do consider trying a different agent at the Bent Agency!" I was encouraged.
