It really makes a difference when an agent takes time out to personally tell you what she/he didn't like. Even if it is a sentence or two.

Literary agent J.L. Stermer of N.S. Bienstock asked me to put out a call for some new queries for her. While J.L. represents a wide variety of subjects, she is specifically putting out this active call for queries in the genres of young adult novels as well as adult women’s fiction.
