EQ 2/15/18 (2nd/final Requery Chain Reaction)--same day rejection (not right fit for her)

Points for responding within less than 30 minutes to my query, even if it was a rejection. Got the same, "Thanks, but this doesn't sound right for me" that others have reported.

EQ: 1/14/19
ER: 1/14/19 (one hour later) “Thank you, but this doesn’t sound right for me.”

Genre: Literary/Dark. 84K.

Based on what I’ve read and her client list, Ms. Martell seems especially geared toward high-power crime/mystery work.

What a nice agent. I got such a lovely rejection letter (after requesting a partial) with a request to see more of my writing.

Thriller/Suspense: She didn't break precedent. Responded next day with a request for first 50 pages and a synopsis. Not a woman of many words, but how many agents do you know who respond so quickly? Rejection is bad enough without having to wait 120 days for it. Or, for that matter, no response at all. Alice Martell is a rarity in the agent business. Now, if she asks for the full, I'll love her.
