I know on her MSWL on her Query page says min of 65K - do you think she's EXTREMELY strict about that? Mine comes to a little over 62K... Do you think I should scratch her name off my list or give it a go?

Have communicated with her several times. She's very nice and seems like she'd make a great agent. Makes very clear how she will keep in communication with her authors, sounds like she makes herself accessible to them. I think she'd be a blessing to an author.

#PitMad request
From rejecton
I'm sorry, but your project does not sound like a fit for me at this time, and so I will have to pass. Thank you for considering me and best of luck with your future queries.

Well, so much for #PitMad. Guess she liked my pitch better than the actual novel. I did read on her website that although she wants romance, she doesn't want erotica. This story has graphic content.

I wanted to let you know I love your story and your writing is terrific. Unfortunately, this doesn't fall into the traditional romance and I don't feel I'm the right agent for it at this time.
