John got back with me at almost the 2 month mark with drops of praise and about 2-3 paragraphs worth of developmental issues that he found with my story. At first I just thought he liked my writing style and was generous enough to offer great feedback with an ultimate rejection, but it became apparent after my reply of thanks that he had actually squeezed in an offer to look at my MS again should I make the revisions. While his offer to revise is pretty plain as day, he seems to nestle them in at the end of the feedback. Here is what he said to me, "If you ever do revise or have a new project to query, I hope you'll think of me. Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to consider your work."

Fingers crossed, everyone. I'm revising!!

FR: 9/6 (PitMad request - sent 9/10)
ER: 9/13

Overall, I had positive experience querying this agent after he liked my PitMad pitch. He was fast, confirmed receipt of my full, and his rejection email gave me a sense of what he felt needed improvement, which he also noted was subjective (it seems like he semi-tailors the statement if everyone else's comments below are any indication...but I still found it polite and helpful).

Unless their agency guidelines specifically state that a pass from one is a pass from all, you're free to query another agent post-rejection. I checked their website and didn't see anything, so I think you're good to go. :) Good luck!

Does anybody know if a Folio Jr. agent turns down your project if you can query another agent there? (I queried Emily Van Beek and she passed...wondering if I could query John.)
