She definitely has a “maybe” pile, based on this rejection (historical fiction 78k):
Thank you so much for sending me [TITLE] and allowing me to consider your work. I have a great deal of respect and appreciation for each writer who shares their story with me. I love the concept of your manuscript and spent some extra time considering your project, but regret to say I didn't feel the spark I need in order to request more. For that reason, I'll step aside. Thank you for considering me and best of luck with your future queries!
