Agent responded promptly with an actionable reason for her rejection. I appreciated her comments and would query her again with other projects.

In addition to the brief, kind email requesting the manuscript, Jemiscoe added: "I’m super behind on reading full requests. I appreciate your patience while I get to reading."

After 3 days, received a nice rejection, as they go. "Didn't fall in love with the opening pages." Still appreciate the encouragement given, but I'm disappointed. I think I would have liked working with Jem.

Very nice personalized rejection that was encouraging and pointed out the aspects she liked, suggesting the manuscript was still an early draft and needed more work. Appreciated her supportive feedback and will take her comments to heart (it does need more work). She'd be amazing to work with. Thank you, Jem!

Took one day to reject.

Thank you for your query of ALLY, but unfortunately, I didn't fall in love with the opening pages as much as I wanted to. For that reason, I’m going to respectfully step aside.

I understand the time, the passion, the drive it takes to create a full manuscript. It’s why I respect every ounce of yourself you poured into your work, which is why I am sorry that I cannot offer you representation at this time. But I don’t believe I’m the right agent to champion this piece.

Thank you for considering me for your work, and I wish you great success with this project and your writing career.?

Warm Regards,

Jem~

Kind, standard rejection.

While I represent a wide range of age groups, I am currently only open to illustrators and authors writing adult fiction. I will open more widely soon.

^I saw this at the top of her page. I had a YA manuscript, I wanted to show her, will check back later. ^^

Very kind, personal, and specific tiered rejection letter. In a nutshell, loved the QL, manuscript needs a little more development, revise and resubmit. Very professional and seems like she'd be great to work with.

Said she is a big fan of the setting and premise and that there's much to recommend but ultimately didn't fall in love enough to make an offer. She's so kind! This closes out my last full but I just sent more queries so hopefully my person is out there!

Same form letter as below. She seems great to work with so this one stings a bit.
