YA Fantasy, 97K
Submitted following SCBWI conference in LA. Received personalized, very encouraging rejection (due to genre fit). If her response is any indication, anyone would be lucky to work with her.

Sweet rejectionon 1/3/15 saying it was "a matter of like and not love and someone else will take it soon."
Very nice lady with a very unusual story in the publishing world!
I have asked the moderators of query tracker.net why Red Fox Literary is not on the list of agencies for picture books. I will with permission share their response.
In this case taking the Webinar through Writer's Digest was well worth the reasonable expense and time. I strongly suggest looking into their Webinars, particularly those that will provide feedback on your manuscript.
Good luck!

A nice, customized rejection. (Note that I was able to submit to Ms. Grencik despite her "closed to queries" notification here because I had attended the NESCBWI conference in Springfield, MA, earlier this year, which she provided critiques at.)

A while ago back in 2011 I submitted to her and she was very kind in her rejection. She loved the story but it was just too long and she said she would not be able to find a buyer for it, but she also mentioned that she would be the first to buy it when it hits the shelves! So with that said, I hope to be able to query her again someday. I just sent a pitch for a character driven PB and she is actually offering one of the four prizes: the chance to submit your PB manuscript to her. I hope I get it!
Query tracker has been SUCH an amazing tool through my querying journey. I love you guys! Thank you, Patrick, and the team for all the work you do. I've used you guys since my first querying book and you are a life saver!

With regret, due to the volume of submissions received, Karen Grencik and Abigail Samoun can no longer accept unsolicited queries. Submissions will only be accepted from attendees at conferences at which they present, or through referrals from their clients or from professionals in the industry.

Very kind, helpful, semi-personal form rejection. I knew my word count was lengthy for a PB, but I am hoping the longer PB's will make a comeback soon.
Here is her response:
Thank you so much for sending this exceptionally lovely manuscript my way. I truly loved spending time with Daniella and Abuelita in this heartfelt tale!
Unfortunately, though, (my name), I've had no luck in placing these kinds of longer story picture book manuscripts, as editors are calling for shorter and shorter texts every day. I think it's a shame, and I wish it wasn't so, but it's the way things are. As a result, I cannot send out manuscripts that don't meet the editors' specific needs, and I just don't know who might be looking for this kind of manuscript. For that reason, with regret, I must pass. I'm so sorry.But I am honored to have had the opportunity to see this, and I hope you'll find an agent who knows just who to send this to to get it to the bookshelves
