2/9: queried, requested full same day (nearing midnight EST!)
2/10: full sent
2/13: notified Ernie of offer of rep and received the KINDEST rejection that was so warm and encouraging. Bowed out due to time.
Hi TLD5737,
Congratulations on your offer of representation! Unfortunately, the timing for me isn't great, and I know I wouldn't be able to properly read and consider your project within that timeframe. But I'm so thrilled another agent has expressed their passion for it, and I'm delighted to step aside here and wish you the very best of luck! It was a pleasure to read your opening pages, though, and I can't wait to see it hit the shelves! I'll be cheering you on every step of the way!
All my best,
Ernie Chiara
