07/08/22 Jade passed MS to Tanera Simons as it was a better fit for her list.
07/29/22 We had the call but in the end, she didn't offer rep. I dodged a bullet, I think.

FR 7/21/22 from assistant, same as below.
Thank you for your submission to the Darley Anderson Literary, TV and Film Agency and thank you for your patience whilst your work was under consideration.
Whilst Tanera was intrigued by the premise, I am afraid that she did not feel quite gripped enough to absolutely fall in love with your concept.
As an Agency, we feel that it is immensely important for new writers to have an agent who believes completely in the potential of their work to sell and who can therefore take that enthusiasm to the publishers. Accordingly, we need to feel passionately about a writer’s work before we sign them onto the agency.
We receive over 600 manuscripts a week and can only take on a select number of debut writers every year. The result is that we have to be incredibly selective, so please do not be disheartened. Another agent may well feel differently.
I wish you the very best of luck in finding the agent who will be right for you.

Polite rejection email from Tanera's assistant
Sent 10/28/20
Still waiting for a response so emailed with an update for the second time 3/29/21 to notify her another agent has asked for a full MS.
Received the encouraging letter and apologies due to the delay (the pandemic has increased the timeframe and she seems to be doing it tough :( )
She finished the email with:
While I can see that you are a talented writer and I very much enjoyed the escapism you provided, I think my indecision means I should step aside on this one. I am delighted to hear that you have had a full MS request from another agent, and I wish you the very best with them and with your writing going forward.
So, if you've been waiting a while, don't give up. The process is longer due to what's happening in the world. I recommend patience and persistence.
Requested Full 01/04/2020

Keeping my fingers well and truly crossed....!
