Rejected on 6/16/25
Fast response. From looking at other commenters it seems he read my query and even provided a hint about pacing, which was actually helpful:
Thank you so much for considering me to represent your work. Unfortunately, I don't think that TITLE is a good fit for my list at this time -- it's an interesting idea and I read your sample pages with interest, but I'm afraid I didn't quite click with the pacing (which is, of course, entirely subjective) -- but I wish you the very best of luck in your querying journey.

R: 9/29/25 fast, responsive, and very kind (I really wish I could work with an agent like this!
Thank you so much for considering me to represent your work. Unfortunately, I don't think that TITLE is a good fit for my list at this time -- it's a remarkable story and I'm glad that you've been able to find some healing through writing, but I'm afraid that I'm taking on memoir very, very selectively right now -- but I wish you the very best of luck in your querying journey.
