Pass: 7/17/21 - She didn't have a lot of notes, but she did tell me her specific reasons for passing, so that was helpful. The issues she had weren't really problems so much as a difference in taste, so the rejection was for the best. And she was kind and complimented what she liked, which is always nice. I definitely think she's an agent worth querying.

4/12/21: FQ
5/29/21: FR but provided feedback that, while she liked the concept, there was one aspect (I broke the fourth wall in a sentence) of why she was not the right agent for the project. When I informed her I had eliminated this one aspect long ago after several R&Rs for other agents, she kindly invited me to send her my new pages.
5/31/21: Submitted my MS
6/24/21: Declined with thoughtful: "Thank you so much for allowing me to see this work again, but I'm afraid this is still a pass for me. I'm just not finding myself falling 100% into the story as I'd hoped. Thank you for considering me for your work, and I wish you luck in your writing future."

Thanks kaysbeckett

5/8/2021: No date given, but will be closing per Twitter:
Hey, all! I am closing my inbox to queries aside from those I request (conferences, contests, referrals, etc.) so I can catch up on submissions. If I requested from you for a recent contest, the links to submit are in my feed!

@isolamelia That is frustrating but I have had that same experience with almost every full request I've gotten recently. My guess is that agents might be hesitant to give real feedback because unfortunately people will sometimes then insult them on Twitter and such.

@Isolamelia That's so rough when an agent does that - and wrong. If they've asked an author for that much, the least they can give them is the courtesy of some feedback!
