Query: 9/2/24
Rejection: 9/3/24

I swear, I'm just going to query Joyce whenever I need a boost of confidence whether or not she takes me on! Her rejections are the kindest. Below was her response to my query.

"Love the imagery and the representation of this! However on the downside, grief books are hard to place right now and I already have several on my list, so I dare not take another. However I'd welcome other submissions from you down the road. So please keep me in mind! Warmly, Joyce"

I emailed back that I appreciated her kind rejection, and she sent the following.

"Yes, that's why i do it. I'm an author myself and I know it's cold on the other side of the email fence. Especially with really good writers like you, I want to send that warmth. See you on the next round! Joyce"

Joyce is the BEST! :)

"This doesn't fit my list at the moment because I am basically all full up and being super selective. But I wanted to let you know despite this being a pass, this is a good story and I think if you query enough agents you will get a yes. Fingers crossed for you!"

By far, kindest rejection! Appreciated the quick response too!
