ER: 06/24/19
LOVELY personalized rejection. Said I write beautifully and she can see why I'm getting interest from other agents (I mentioned the no. of fulls I had out in the query), but it just isn't for her. If I don't sign with an agent for this book (she said it seems unlikely to her -- SQUEAL!) then she'd love to see what I write next. This totally made my day!!! <3
I replied thanking her for the kind rejection, and also asked if the no-response-means-no policy applies for DVpit requests as well. I'd resent the DVpit query for my adult romance after that email glitch in October '18, but never heard back. She might not reply, but hey, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take, right?
UPDATE: OMG! She said it must have dropped off her radar and to resend the DVpit query.

I appreciate the fast response. I think it's a form rejection, but the second sentence/paragraph is "I enjoyed the material you sent but I'm afraid this isn't one for me." So my silver-lining self is hoping that part isn't form and she really did enjoy it, at least.
