Nudged when received another offer
Offered Rep on 8/8
Talked to her on phone. Really great conversation. She's knowledgeable and passionate and although just getting into agenting (which was why I went another direction), she knows the business from the writer's perspective (she's a published author). If I didn't have my options I have (multiple offers), I would have felt comfortable accepting rep. I'd recommend (and I've been through this before & have dealt with a bunch of good agents).
ER: 5/15/17
Sweet personalized rejection.

ER 01/19/2017 Very kind and encouraging letter complimenting my writing but saying it wasn't right for her list.
CNR 1/8/2017 per the 6 weeks stated on the website
Update: she got back to me a few hours after I did this comment! Nice, slightly personalized rejection telling me it was a sweet picturebook but she takes very few of these and it wasn't quite right for her. She seems very kind and I appreciate the extra words.
