Nice, fast rejection August 16, 2021.

"I loved both your comps and agree that those feel spot on for this novel! This is a really heartwarming premise, 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 XXX successfully and in your future endeavors. Be well and stay safe."

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.
Revised Full Sent: 04/01
Nudged with offer of rep: 04/08
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!
