Query: 3/11/26
73,000 paranormal romance
Response: 9/11/26 (it took awhile!)
I have received your query and reviewed xxxx to see if your project is a fit for my list at this time. Unfortunately, I have to pass. I wish I could provide more detailed feedback than this, but this is a very subjective reaction and another agent may feel very differently. Please do take my pass gently as this is a challenging and competitive business. I hope you'll find the perfect advocate for this book, and I wish you every success. Thank you again for the opportunity to review your work.

Pitched verbally at a conference 9/12/26, invited to query
Queried 9/13
Customized Rejection w/feedback 9/16
Ms. De Vita was incredibly kind, supportive, and constructive in both verbal pitch and rejection note. Her feedback was clear, spot on, and gives me ideas for where to take the project if I don't get picked up by another agent.
