Appreciate the quick response
"Thank you for sending []. While I appreciate the opportunity to consider your work, unfortunately, I don't feel I connected enough with the story to be the right agent for the project. I know this is disappointing news to receive; however, please keep in mind that this business often comes down to personal taste, and another agent may feel differently and devote themselves to championing your work in the way it deserves."

Posting to gush about Jane.
I queried her with my first novel, and while she rejected it, she had such kind things to say in her personalized rejection and encouraged me to try her again.
As soon as I finished my second novel, I fired off a query to her. She said she was thrilled to hear from me again.
She sent me a partial request after about 40 days, and then a full request after another month. Within a week, she rejected the full but took the time to give me extensive feedback, was so warm and complimentary, said it was an agonizing choice, and said if I was still interested in querying her that I was welcome to send her my next project.
I can’t say enough about how respectful, encouraging, and humane this agent is in an industry that often feels anything but. While
I hope that I am “off the market” before my next project is ready, trust me when I say she is one of the good ones, and I remain a huge fan of hers. Any writer would be lucky to have her in their corner!
