Nice form rejection.

I hope you're well and that you are having a nice week. Thank you so much for sending over your manuscript and for your patience while I read and considered.

Unfortunately, I am afraid that I am going to have to pass, as I couldn't quite connect with the voice and didn't find myself as invested as I should have been as a result. As you know these things are very subjective though, and I hope you find someone who does love it enough to take a chance on it and work on it with you. It didn't have that spark to me that I thought would make it stand out in a very crowded market, but someone else could easily feel very differently about it.
I really appreciate having had the opportunity to read it, and I wish you all the best of luck with your submission. If you decide to write anything else in future, I would be very happy to be included into any submissions of new writing. Enjoy your summer in the meantime!

Sad to see this one slip away, as I'd gotten my hopes up a bit when I saw others after me being rejected. Thought I was in her "maybe" pile, but her email says 8 weeks is a pass. Probably doesn't help that I'm US based. Good luck to everybody!

She couldn't connect with the voice of the novel. Still, her rejection was kind and supportive.

Open for queries per Twitter

I submitted to Therese in January and discovered that one of the other agents later blocked me on twitter despite me never interacting with them. I presume they checked out my twitter after my submission went to their agency's email and saw my tweets in support of trans people which are a heavy contrast with their beliefs. There is a chance they stumbled across me in another way. I can't tell people who to submit to and not to submit to, but especially if you are trans or support the trans community, I recommend you not waste your time and find another agency because you are unlikely to get far here.
