EQ (Kiss Pitch Request): 5/26/21
FR: 5/26/21; sent on the same day (came 10 mins later! Definitely the fastest request... ever.) She did ask who else was considering the full in her email.
ER: 6/3/21: This was a really nice rejection. It was extremely personalized. She literally sang my praises and then said she had to pass because she wanted the pacing to be a bit faster. She said that real life is often paced the way I wrote but she likes her fiction faster but has no doubt that my story will get picked up.

Soooo... we keep pressing forward. :) Onward!

She asked for my full MS on Feb 10, rejected it Mar 3. "I think the writing is strong, but I'm not sure I see a path for this book to stand out."
Which is an interesting point: to accept a book, an agent needs to feel they can pitch publishers on why the book is outstanding. Strong writing is not enough!
