Personalized rejection, which I do appreciate. It's unfortunate because she was on my top agents dream list, but I get it. Unfortunately, my book has sibling loss/grief in it, and that was a trigger for her. I felt awful that my query brought up those feelings or upset her, but I triple checked her "do not query me with" list of triggers, and it wasn't listed there. Still, she seems lovely to work with.

"Thank you for taking the time to query me! Unfortunately there have been so many novels with similar plotlines published in recent years that the idea doesn't feel fresh enough to me to be confident in. Without my having a clear vision for how to separate it from the saturated market, I have to pass. Wishing you the best!"

Rejected, but provided some feedback - which is rare for most agents.
Was helpful and informative. Sounds like a great agent.

Rejection: Dec 07
YA Dark Fantasy.
Personalised rejection: Hi XXX!!
Thank you for taking the time to query me! While I love the roots of this story and I think it sounds interesting, it runs a little more high fantasy than I am looking for at the current time.
:( While I don't find my trilogy to be high fantasy at all, I feel kinda lost now and will be archiving this project and taking a break from writing in general.
But I am super greatful for her amazing feedback on both my manuscripts :)
Thanks, Rachel!
