I had 2 offers of rep and ultimately decided to partner with Johanna. The offer call cemented my decision, as she was incredibly thorough and detailed when it came to all of my questions, and it meant a lot to me that she read my manuscript and scheduled a call for the offer (on a holiday, no less!) in such a short timespan. I think I will be in good hands with her. :)

Kind, brief but constructive rejection 11/7/22
The query had apparently gone to Spam despite "Query" in the subject. Such is technology I guess!

Thank you for sharing your work with us and for your patience as Johanna reviewed it.
At this time, we will not be requesting more. Given the high volume of submissions, Johanna can only take on projects that are a perfect fit for her list. We believe you merit an agent who connects with your work wholeheartedly and can be the advocate you deserve, so we will be stepping aside.
?Please don't be discouraged though, as this is a highly subjective industry, which simply means another agent may feel differently.?
Thank you again for your thinking of Writers House, for your patience, and for considering Johanna for this work.
Wishing you all the best,
Victoria on behalf of Johanna Castillo
