Very kind and encouraging rejection email only one day after nudging. Ellen mentioned that while she thought my pitch was fun, she is very busy with existing clients and an increased workload and is being conservative in taking on new clients at this time.

I realized I sent a query to her in error after being rejected by Natalie Sun. Wrote an email of explanation.
