I appreciate that she pointed out what she liked, the setting and protagonist specifically, but wasn't sure of her ability to sell the work. Her email was brief but pleasant.
FR: 3.29.18 (sent same day)
ER: 4.19.18
96K women's fiction
The rejection felt semi-formy with bits of personalized feedback inserted. Amy referred to my characters by name and called them dynamic and sympathetic. She also said she loved the suspense elements of my story, but ultimately didn't connect closely enough. Overall, the feedback was complimentary, which almost makes the rejection worse. At least it was all said and done within a month!

Thanks so much for thinking of me and sending along your query and first 25 pages for THE MONSTER WITHIN.
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 this book and in your future endeavors.
All the best,
Amy Elizabeth Bishop
