Form rejection 7/23/2021. I am fine with this. A seven-day turnaround to let me know to look elsewhere is kind and professional.

Rejection today for YA fantasy. Says she's not doing much YA fantasy these days but praises my work.

In February, I decided to revise based on editorial feedback, and she was happy to wait for the revised.

OFFER OF REP!: 04/14

I went with another agent (I had five offers of rep), but I would HIGHLY recommend Amy. She's enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and her clients love her. Her kind and sincere personality really shone through during our call and in subsequent emails. Connecting with her was an overwhelmingly positive experience, and I consider myself lucky to have met her!

Rejection: 02/08/21: Informed Amy I'd been offered representation on 02/01/21. She read my manuscript and also shared with Jim McCarthy (VP at Dystel, Goderich & Bourret). Jim wrote me back saying they loved the characters and story, but were concerned about the format (it alternates w/chapters in 2 timelines--the earlier ones have a more YA feeL), saying they "lacked the kind of clarity of vision for how this could be best published" and will "step aside and wish you the best of luck with your new agent." Super friendly and very helpful. Would highly recommend querying (Amy and Jim, both)

Form rejection but SUPER kind. Will definitely query again!

Form rejection: "I like the themes you’re exploring here, but 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 (title) successfully and in your future endeavors. Be well and stay safe."
