Rejection 6/24/25 - definitely gutted by this one but her feedback was very kind and helpful! I do wish she would've asked for R&R but that's ok, onward and upward!

Dear Grayson,

Thank you very much for allowing me the opportunity to consider TITLE. While I enjoyed reading, unfortunately, the material is not a fit for my list at this time.

Overall, I was a real fan of the concept (and the opening scene had me laughing out loud!), and I completely applaud the way you handle grief throughout this manuscript. It's the romance at the heart that has me pausing. The burn is perhaps just too slow for me, before erupting all at once without much build-up.

Thank you for considering me and I wish you the best of luck with your future writing. I truly hope to see you on the shelves one day!

80k YA rom-com

I wonder why this agent doesn't have a YA romance choice in her genres on the form? The agency website says she accepts YA romance and horror. When I tried to choose Romance: category, the form said my word count was too big. So I chose Romantic adventure as my category, even though that's not my novel's genre at all. I wasn't sure what else to do.
