This is my first personalized rejection and it made me smile!! Thanks Amy :))

She provided helpful and actionable feedback on my opening pages, which I am grateful for. Seems like she would be a wonderful person to work with!
Submitted 100 pages through the Manuscript Academy. It's expensive, but hopefully worth it to get feedback on my novel and maybe some genuine interest. Cross your fingers for me, y'all!!

Thanks so much for thinking of me and sending along your query and sample material for _______.
Unfortunately, after careful consideration, I’ve decided I’m not the best agent to represent this book. I’m simply not enthusiastic enough about my ability to sell this work to offer representation.
I wish you the best of luck with placing CHERI LOVED successfully and in your future endeavors. Be well and stay safe.
All the best,
Amy Elizabeth Bishop
