Query sent 3/10/25 78K word memoir
Rejected 4/11/25
Kindest rejection letter ever: Thank you so much for your query. I appreciate the chance to read and consider X. I'm thankful that you shared such a personal and vulnerable narrative. I'm afraid, however, my nonfiction list is quite small, and as a result I don't think I'm the best agent for this project. I have no doubt, however, you'll find the right representative to champion your story.
I wish you the very best of luck in finding the perfect home and agent for your book. Thank you again for your submission.
Sincerely,
Lily

4/5 Form Rejection
Thank you so much for submitting your work to me. I'm grateful to have had the chance to consider. While it's clear you've put a great deal of thought into your writing, I'm afraid I didn't fall in love with the sample material as much as I was hoping to, although I appreciate your well written pitch. However, I have no doubt you'll find an agent who is ready and eager to champion your work in the way you deserve.
I wish you all the best of luck as you continue your search for representation, and thank you again for sharing your work with me.
Sincerely,
Lily
