She skipped over me for awhile so I had hope, but alas! I appreciate her kind words, though :')

"I am sorry to say that while I adored the premise, I found myself losing steam with the opening pages. I recognize this likely isn't what you wanted to hear, but please understand this is just one agents opinion. If you have another work that you feel would be a better fit for me, please do not hesitate to send it my way while I am open to queries. I wish you nothing but the best in your writing endeavors!"

"Thank you for taking the time to consider me as your literary agent. I recognize that sharing your creative work is a very personal thing, and I appreciate you trusting me with your art.

I've had time to review your submission materials, and unfortunately, I did not connect with them in the way that you want for someone who represents your work. Any advocate for your work should be utterly enamored with your story, and sadly that was not me at this time.

I recognize this likely isn't what you wanted to hear, but please understand this is just one agents opinion. If you have another work that you feel would be a better fit for me, or make changes to this one, please do not hesitate to send it my way while I am open to queries. I wish you nothing but the best in your writing endeavors!"
