I was in contact with Cassandra from TRF. She requested the first 50 pages. While she didn't take me on as a client, she wrote me an encouraging and kind rejection letter.

I never got a response either, but I did end up on their email list to advertise writing seminars, etc. that I could pay for. Not impressed with that tactic.

I submitted in October 2016, followed up a few times via email without response, and a year later asked them what their turn-around time is on Twitter. Never got a response. So after 13 months, I'll close this out.

Very helpful lovely rejection. Complimentary regarding the writing but felt the plot had issues that would be a difficult sell in this competitive market. Of course it was disappointing but she gave extensive feedback about what worked and what didn't

Thank you for your query.

Unfortunately, it is not a fit for my list at the current time. I do hope another agent feels differently.

Thank you for your interest in The Rights Factory. I wish you all the best in finding a home for your work.

All my best,
Cassandra
