Queried: 8/1/22
Full Request: 8/11/22 with a message saying she'll reply within 30 days
Nudged: 10/24/22, more than 60 days later to see if she's still reading the full manuscript. No response.
Declined: 3/14/23. Not even a note to say the manuscript was rejected, haha. I only noticed today (3/19/23) because my query tracker counter went down by one.

After holding the suspense for 215 days, lol.

“Thank you for your interest in The Rosenberg Group. Please know that I appreciate and respect the time and effort you have put into crafting TITLE. I'd like to respond in a more personal manner, but the volume of submissions I receive doesn't permit me to do so. I have read your query letter am sorry to write that this will be a pass for me.”

Possibly a form rejection on a partial, pasting it in case it's helpful to anyone else. Might be personalized? No real way of knowing.

Thank you for sending me the synopsis and first three chapters for [TITLE]. I'm sorry, but despite some good moments, I don't have the requisite level of enthusiasm needed to take this on, so I must pass.

Please keep in mind this is only my opinion; I wish you much success in finding both agent and editor for your work.

Sincerely,

So she doesn't sound like a winner at all.

Rejection in four days. Memoir.

Form rejection: merely a pass without even a vague reason.

Rejection after a full request. Quick response time (about a month or so) all around, but part of her reasoning for passing was based on social media numbers which I thought was a bit odd and off-putting when seeing similar "Twitter numbers" for authors she represented.

Her rejection was personalized, but I wasn't impressed like others were below. Her feedback was strange: she gave my project a pass, but didn't say why, and then she added a comment that was way off from what other agents have said and she sounded presumptuous for someone who clearly didn't read past my pitch. I sent her three chapters and a synopsis, but she clearly didn't read them as she made no mention of my writing, or anything related to them. Even if she had indicated that she read my pages, you can't really gauge all that she said by only reading three chapters. Plus, she spelled my MC's name wrong lol. If she can't even get my MC's name right (and it's not even a hard name to spell...), then clearly, she's not the right agent for this book or for me.

Also, since others below have questioned whether or not she reps LGBT fiction, she seems open minded to at least reading them, but just by my impressions from this experience, I don't think she'd be the best reader and agent for LGBT projects. She comes across as really clunky and awkward in this avenue.

@Chuck_Paone, She selected the genres listed here herself, via her QueryManager form.

Barbara states that she's interested in romance and women's fiction - no other type of fiction.

The genres listed here are misleading.
