Query sent 2/9/24 using the email address in Query Tracker. Full request same day. Polite form rejection 2/15/24.
Regardless of the outcome, definitely appreciated the engagement, professionalism, and rapid response.

NNF. I quickly received a lovely personalized rejection from Jane, perhaps because we worked together before. A note about Jane. These days she reps the book, not the author. She decides based on a book's content and if it does well in the market, you can discuss the next book, but she's not grooming authors. Here's the content. Dear Helene,

"Thank you so much for reaching out and sending along your proposal for XXX which we read with great interest. The strong writing and harrowing premise were both aspects we particularly admired. After very careful consideration, however, we have decided that we are not the appropriate agents for this project.

Though this is very well put together, we still had concerns that you haven’t quite found the right angle that feels particularly illuminating enough to stand out in a challenging market. Ultimately, I’m sorry to say that we’re simply not enthusiastic enough about our ability to successfully place your project.

Helene, thank you again for the chance to review this material and I wish you all the best.

Best regards,
Jane Dystel"

She requested my manuscript but ultimately rejected it. Very professional even if disappointing.

If you receive a no response from this agent (8w + follow up), would you query others in the agency? I know they have a no from one, no from all policy, but they also have a response policy. I am curious...
