form rejection, I believe. Said she enjoyed what she read but it wasn't right for her. Very nice at least :)

I submitted however I didn't include a separate synopsis as I assumed the 'synopsis' on her bio was the pitch in the query.... To those who submitted before, did you include a 1 page synopsis or was it just the query letter that you sent?

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.

So, for anyone who's queried this agency, they had an email glitch and lost all their queries, subs, everything! So Hannah said if you haven't heard back from her yet you should requery
