ER: 9/17/2019 form letter stating that it was a great pitch and story idea, but she didn't fall in love with it

I appreciated the polite, fast response even if it was a form letter.

FQ: Sept 11/19
ER: Sept 17/19 (form)

This one is entirely on me, as I inadvertently queried her after I had already queried another agent at Andrea Brown. So embarrassed for the oversight :(.

Dear XX,

Thank you so much for thinking of me. We are very collaborative and share projects internally. You recently submitted XX to one of my colleagues, so I am going to pass and step aside.

Per our agency guidelines, a "no" from one of our agents is a "no" from the agency as a whole. However, you may submit a new work to another agent, or to the same agent. And, if XX is significantly revised, you may resubmit it after six months.

If you would like to resubmit a significant revision in six months, I would welcome the opportunity to read your work. No matter what you decide, I wish you the very best of luck as you move forward!

Best,
Jennifer

She sent me a very kind personalized rejection.

ER - 8/19/19

Personalized rejection indicating the reason why she passed and what my ms needs for "an even more gratifying close."

To answer the question below: In an interview, Jennifer says she reads every query carefully that came to "her" inbox. So I think every agent sees query directed directly to them.

@nltsjnread It does make me wonder if queries made through Query Manager can be seen by everyone at an agency.

The agency does allow resubmission after six months with significant revision. So I believe OK to try again after a period of time, if you think your work fits with another agent there.

Very nice, personalized rejection letter. Suggested starting the book earlier, loved it but not in love with it.

Super nice! Seemed like a form rejection, but said she loved the pitch and story idea and just didn't fall in love with the pages. Really appreciated the fast turnaround too!
