Form letter 01/06/2021,
Thanks so much for letting us take a look at your materials, and please forgive me for responding with a form letter. The volume of submissions we receive, however, makes it impossible to correspond with everyone personally.

Very specific requirements for nonfiction proposals.

FYI Dystel Goderich & Bourret does not allow you to query another agent at the agency after you have been rejected by one of them. A rejection by one is a rejection by all. I recommend waiting to query them until you 100% sure you have a winning query letter and a solid submission and then sending to your top pick, because you only shot with them.

Miriam requested my full when I informed her of my offer. I gave her two weeks to read, and I heard back from Amy Bishop (on behalf of Miriam) in that time frame. A gracious step aside, although they liked my MS.

EQ 3/6
FR 3/6 (like literally 5 minutes after I queried her. I was SHOCKED)
I sent the ms over five minutes after that.

Form Rejection 3/22 (she even used the words "we" instead of "I", which seemed unnecessarily removed. But at least she let me know, and it was fast.)
