Kind, professional letter. Said they read with great interest, but did not feel strongly enough about their ability to sell the book.
1/22 Full request
And... crickets. I nudged her on 5/17, no reply to that, still no word back on the manuscript. This seems really weird for her. Should I just assume it's a no?
6/7 Nice personalized reject that called it "fascinating" but ultimately didn't "connect enough" - because of an email I was mistakenly sent I know Jane didn't read it, an intern did. At least was quick, and personalized.

True to form, she rejected the manuscript after her full request.

Don't have much hope for this one. This agent's mode of operation is asking for a full request and then rejecting the manuscript.
