Full Request (+ full synopsis): January 12, 2023
Pass: January 26, 2023
Her rejection was personalized and kind, though not terribly specific. Also, I gleaned from it that she's not particularly interested in taking on more Literary Fiction, even though she technically represents it. I should also note that I don't know of an agency that treats authors with more respect than BookEnds, from their ample and freely available resources on querying to their "always respond" policy, they just seem like a terrific force in the world. I highly recommend querying them.
Domestic suspense
She replies quickly.

Dear ___,
Thank you so much for querying BookEnds and for giving me the opportunity to review XXX. I did read your letter and am going to pass on looking at further material.
I'm sorry I don't have better news. I am lucky to have a full and active client list and for that reason, I've become very particular about taking on new clients. This is by no means a criticism of your work. It's quite possible you'll find someone else who feels differently. I encourage you to keep querying and even consider other BookEnds agents for your work.
I wish you all the best in your search for representation and thank you again for giving BookEnds the opportunity.
