Hi, thank you for your query, and for your patience! I've taken a look and unfortunately I do not hold the right amount of enthusiasm in order to move forward and therefore, must pass.
I wish you all the very best as you continue to grow as a writer and encourage you to keep writing! If you ever find yourself pitching something new, you are welcome to query me again.
Thank you again for giving me a chance to consider.

6/9/22 - Rejection - I’m not gonna lie; I’m bummed. She said I’m a good writer, but my book needs more plot to stand out in today’s market. I sent an email thanking her and stated that I understood her decision. Though I did respectfully ask for some specifics on the rejection if it didn’t seem inappropriate. I felt since she requested a full, maybe it wouldn’t hurt to ask?? I would never do that with a query rejection though.
