Very responsive just like everyone else has been saying. Standard letter similar to those in prior comments. I encourage others to submit queries to her!

I received a very kind, personal rejection the day after sending my query.

I don't typically leave comments anymore, but this was definitely worth noting. I received a rejection on the same day of querying, which is pretty incredible to be honest. Best response time I've seen, and personalised to boot.

Dear [Name], Unfortunately, [Manuscript] isn't what I'm looking for right now, so I'll be passing with regrets. (Your dedication to your craft is impressive, but I worry that this concept won't stand out in a crowded market, and your opening pages, though well-written, didn't reel me in as much as I wanted them to, which is obviously a me problem.) Thank you for considering me, and very best of luck with your other queries. Respectfully, Krista

Awesome personalized rejection on a lower YA book (within hours). Will revise query:

P.S. This one was super close for me, as I found aspects of this concept intriguing and your opening pages make it clear that you're a strong writer. My concern is that it felt like the first plot summary paragraph and the second plot summary paragraph were describing two different books, so I worried that the story may end up feeling disjointed.
