No response yet but others seem to have gotten theirs? It's been two weeks now.
Got a form response after two weeks. Disappointed cuz I wanted feedback on my rejection.

ER: 9/18 Well, that was the most positive rejection I've ever had. After noting what she loved about the sample, she regretted not taking on my project because she didn't have a clear grasp of which editors to send it to and therefore wouldn't be the best advocate. Good luck, writers!
EQ: 9/16/18
ER: 9/17/18 Personalized note with clear details of what worked and what didn't work for her. Helpful.
Thanks for your message! I am out of the office today for the Pacific Northwest Writers Association Conference. I'll be back at my desk Monday morning.

I’ve emailed her a few times to let her know of an offer I turned down and such. She’s super friendly and honest. Told me she still had a few to read before mine! Even if she doesn’t offer, anyone would be lucky to have her. She’s certainly special!
(I was just looking at her time line and she replied almost all the listed queries before and several after mine. Is it in a maybe pile? Not received? skipped for now? In spam? At 2 weeks I think it is way to early to nudge even though she does respond quick. Last time I queried her I got a response in a day, but that was last year.)

Personalized rejection encouraging me to query a fellow agent. Seems like a positive and lovely agent to work with.
ER: 5/29/2018
Best rejection I've ever gotten! Super personalized, with recommendations of other people to query. Anyone would be lucky to have her as an agent :)

She shared some brief notes of what she enjoyed about my sample pages in her response email. That was a surprise and a really sweet personal addition!

Ms. Goetz sent back a nice response (even though ultimately she decided to pass) highlighting things she enjoyed and what prevented her from committing to the project. Very helpful feedback.
