A very thoughtful and sweet person kind enough to revert with an amazing rejection letter that clearly made me feel positive about my vision for my MS. Would definitely recommend Lee.

Really disappointed about this one, but the rejection was nice (although presumably form).
Thank you for sending your query about XXX. I think this is a fascinating premise, and I enjoyed reading your sample pages and submission package. I appreciate the care you put into putting it together.
Unfortunately, I don't think I'm a match for this project, as I'm not certain about my ability to sell this manuscript to take it on at this time – but this is, of course, just me. Publishing is very subjective, and you deserve an unequivocally enthusiastic agent as your advocate. I may well be wrong, and you should definitely get other agents' opinions.
