Passed after three days with an incredibly sweet, slightly personalized rejection. Seems like a wonderful agent who would be great to work with!

April 22, 2024. Ms. MacKenzie politely passed on my 82K spec thriller after 14 days. But she read the query and sample and commented on both. Extremely grateful for her input and encouragement that another agent will be intrigued by the concept and writing. While the auto rejections are understandable, they make it difficult to fine-tune the pitch, especially for a debut author who's trying to find his/her footing. So thank you, Joanna!
