Passed on my novel with a note that went beyond the usual rejection. Reading her short note, I felt as though Ms. Stovall had actually read my proposal and taken time to give it real consideration. Although it did not work out as I hoped, I greatly appreciate the time and effort that she spent reading my work. It all felt human.

Patrick, it looks like she is open to queries? She appears on the agency website's form drop-down as a viable option, and it looks in the Data Explorer like she has requested partials, etc, since your last update May 3rd.

nicest rejection yet.
Thank you so much for your query for Battles of the Mind. Unfortunately, I'm not connecting with the project as much as I'd hoped to and so I have to step aside. Of course, this is only my subjective opinion. You deserve to work with someone who shares your passion and vision for this book. I'm sorry that it isn't me, but I wish you the best of luck with everything.

Mariah Stovall kindly sent me a personal rejection letter that was quite encouraging and complimentary. It gave me heart. I appreciate her honesty and integrity, saying my memoir had merit but just not her style, and that she was confident I'd pick up an agent.

Formerly worked at Howland Literary, which isn't listed on querytracker. I queried her in March 2021. Received a complimentary rejection a week later.
