@emilywinter21 why is this a rude response? Authors keep wondering why they're being rejected, and Anna explained herself: because she's not a fan of rhyming books. It's because of people like you that agents don't provide feedback. Because people are never happy. You provide feedback, and oh my God, it's not polite enough, the agent hasn't apologized a hundred times for the rejection! And why is it wrong to not be a fan of rhyming books? Just accept that some people, like yourself, like rhyming books, while other people don't like them! Shocking, huh? Not everyone's like you!

Very rude rejection. "Sorry, but I'm not a fan of rhyming books." A form rejection would've sufficed.

Ms. Olswanger was very nice in a email response, saying she is only accepting "author-illustrator" works...not text-only manuscripts. I loved her personal touch in the brief but nice/cordial message she took time to send (despite so many queries she likely receives in a day). She feels like a genuine, stand-up kind of person and must be a great professional to work with...

EQ: 08/2020
FR: in ~5 minutes
offered representation 11/2020 (we started working together on revising the book in August, and representation was offered when the story is in a good shape in November. I love working with her. Anna always replies email fast, she has a sharp vision and always gave me fun/constructive suggestions).
