ER: 9/12/18 with a very nice note that was probably mostly form content, but thanked me for the thoughtful letter.
Literary fiction 90K
MG Contemporary fantasy 65k
EQ: 6/27/18
ER: 7/7/18 - partially form, partially custom with a recommendation to try her colleague instead. Liked the concept but didn't feel she was the right agent for it. Really swift, kind and cordial, and simple + informative. Great querying experience.
103K YA LGBTQ+ spec-fic
ER 7/10/18
Kind rejection. She said she liked the concept but didn't connect with the voice (mentioning my character by name). Disappointed, but at least it was fast, kind and gave me some info.
contemporary middle grade, 65K

Form rejection
ER: 7/7/18
7/7 ER
Don't be fooled by her rejections, they are lovely, but still a form, and she uses different versions/variations of it, some more generously nicer than others. But still a form. I was surprised that she sent this to me at 12:59 AM tho!
Thank you so much for giving me the chance to consider your work. While I appreciated the chance to read, I’m afraid I’m not connecting as much as I’d need to in order to feel like the right match. You deserve an agent who is as passionate about your project as you are, and who has just the right vision for its publication. Wishing you all the best with the next steps, and I hope to see your book on shelves one day. Thanks again for thinking of me for your work.
All best,
Andrea
(Thanks ccgallo)
Checked in: 11/6/17 (per her Publishers Marketplace guidelines, it said it was okay to follow-up at around 8 weeks)
ER: 11/12/17
She thanked me for following-up and apologized for the wait. She didn't connect to the sample quite enough to pursue but said I could try someone else at Writers House if I'd like. Not sure if this is a form or a version of a form but it still felt kind and sincere.
ER 11/12
Middle grade contemporary
YA Contemporary 60K
ER: 10/8
Nice form, but still a form.
Thank you so much for reaching out. This isn't quite a match for me, but I hope you find the perfect advocate for your work. Wishing you all the best as you move forward with your search for representation, and I hope to see this on shelves one day.
All best,
Andrea
