Full rejection 1/20/25—she isn't the right fit, but had extremely kind and encouraging customized feedback and referred me to another agent interested in my materials. Susan seems like she'd be an amazing advocate to work with!

Susan had originally reached out to me about my manuscript after seeing my post on the subreddit, PubTips. Though she ultimately did not offer me representation, she was very pleasant and polite throughout our contact, confirming receipt of the manuscript when I sent it and giving me a personalized pass. I would recommend querying her, she seems great!

It was a form rejection, but in the rejection, she congratulated me on my offer and finding someone to champion my work. Clearly, she sent the wrong form rejection. I have no offer, and I never nudged about one. It made me chuckle though.

6/6: full request (!!!)
6/21: R&R with extremely detailed feedback
8/12: emailed her to ask how she'd like to be sent the revision. she responded today saying to send it as a brand new query
8/13: query #2
9/16: sent me an update that she’s more busy than anticipated and will get back to me by the end of the year
12/26: sent her a small nudge since it's now the end of the year :)
1/5/2025: she requested the full revised manuscript, said she'd reply in 8-10 weeks
2/5: very kind, personalized rejection, saying all the changes I made were great and she felt the manuscript was much stronger, but she just didn't fall in love with it. I'm pretty devastated, but I'm very grateful for all her help and feedback.
