Does anyone know if a pass from Cheryl is a pass from the others too?

Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to consider your work for representation. Unfortunately, I’m afraid that I will not be the right agent for your project. I am currently taking on new clients quite selectively, focusing exclusively on work that really stirs my passions, and I don’t feel that I could represent your work with the requisite enthusiasm in this tough market.

I wish you much success with finding representation and publication, and again thank you for considering me.

On 11/30/15, I've requeried Cheryl with Venom. After a two week nudge with no word, it's CNR. I'll try her with Chain Reaction this spring.

4/5/16: Yesterday I've requeried Cheryl with Chain Reaction. She was fast with her rejection: not the right agent, real selective and needs to be passionate to take it on. I'll retry her with V this spring and get a response from her than the CNR from last month.

6/13/16: Update: Cheryl responded to my old query from last fall with a pass (real selective, not right for list). I'm still waiting to hear from her on my requery for CR. I'll do Kaitlin Detweiler this summer with Venom.
