Probably the nicest, most thoughtful pass I've received. She is open to review the story again after six months and significant revisions.

"Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to consider TITLE.

TITLE has a compelling premise, and there is much to recommend about the story. However, after careful consideration, I didn't connect with these opening pages as much as I had hoped. For this reason, I have decided to pass and step aside for now.

I wish I could give more personalized feedback and advice. Unfortunately, I don't have the time at this point in my career, but I encourage you to keep striving for publication. I truly believe in the power of revision. With me, no means not yet, and I am always open to reading significant revisions in 6+ months, if you still think I could be a good fit for you at that time.

[Name], I am so sorry not to offer you representation at this time. I have no doubt you will have great success with TITLE, and I wish you the very best of publishing luck as you move forward."

This rejection was kind and included helpful comments.

Profile Update: Genres updated.

Just listened to Jennifer Laughran's podcast (Literaticast) and she said that we can NOW query more than one agent at their agency. Just a three agent limit. Yeah, man!

Nice rejection where she says something kind to take the edge off but it's really just a form rejection like all the others below, nothing to brag home about and not worth getting all excited over. She just sends different versions of complimentary "feedback" that comes across like it's personalized and sincere when in actuality, they're all just canned default rejection letters.

Very lovely and encouraging rejection , I believe she would take on more projects but I also believe she gets swamped or has a good sized client pool already

It's lovely to hear from you. Thank you so much for the opportunity to consider XXX.
I find the premise of XXX compelling, and your writing at the line level is lovely. Sadly, this project is not the right fit for my list at this time, and so I am going to step aside for now, but I truly appreciate the opportunity to consider your work.

I am so sorry not to offer you representation at this time. I have no doubt you will have great success with XXX, and I wish you the very best of luck as you move forward.
Thank you again for thinking of our agency.
Best,
