Her rejection was personalized, but I wasn't impressed like others were below. Her feedback was strange: she gave my project a pass, but didn't say why, and then she added a comment that was way off from what other agents have said and she sounded presumptuous for someone who clearly didn't read past my pitch. I sent her three chapters and a synopsis, but she clearly didn't read them as she made no mention of my writing, or anything related to them. Even if she had indicated that she read my pages, you can't really gauge all that she said by only reading three chapters. Plus, she spelled my MC's name wrong lol. If she can't even get my MC's name right (and it's not even a hard name to spell...), then clearly, she's not the right agent for this book or for me.
Also, since others below have questioned whether or not she reps LGBT fiction, she seems open minded to at least reading them, but just by my impressions from this experience, I don't think she'd be the best reader and agent for LGBT projects. She comes across as really clunky and awkward in this avenue.
LGBT Literary Fiction
