In her rejection email, she said my story was well-written and interesting, but the opening chapters didn't hook her quite as she'd hoped. I truly appreciate her prompt, professional responses and would encourage anyone else to query her.

Submitted to Ms. Marsal on 12/12/2020 and received a request for my manuscript on 12/22/2020. Sent my manuscript on 1/1/2021. Received a rejection with some feedback saying she didn't connect with the voice but thought some other agent might love it, on 1/8/2021. Very professional and I appreciated her prompt responses even if my novel wasn't for her. You would do well submitting to Ms. Marsal.

Thank you for your email. While your project sounds interesting, I don’t think it is right for my list at this time.
I appreciate your querying us and wish you good luck in finding the right agent who can successfully champion your work.

Polite rejection. Looks like a from letter after reviewing some other comments below. I asked a few questions and received prompt reply. Would be a good agent to work with. Seemed sincere in the reason for rejection.
