Rejection the same day I pitched. It was personal and kind. He said he's being very selective with memoirs these days, which I understand. If you're going to be rejected, it should always be this nice.

Nicest rejection I have ever received?? Really appreciate the personalization here, would absolutely query again.

Thank you so much for considering me to represent your work. Unfortunately, I don't think that xxx is a good fit for my list at this time -- you're a talented writer and I read your sample pages with interest, but I'm afraid I didn't "click" with the material here in the way that would make me the best editor and advocate for your work (if it makes you feel any better, I felt similarly about (comp book) which was obviously quite successful!) -- but I wish you the very best of luck in your querying journey.
