Form Query: October 25, 2022
Full Request: November 7, 2022
Submitted Additional Manuscripts: November 7, 2022
Rejected: January 9, 2023
It's a kind form rejection with a touch of personalization at the beginning:
"Thank you for allowing me the read [QUERY BOOK] and the rest of your manuscripts. I'm sorry to say that I didn't connect with the rest of your PB manuscripts the way I did with [QUERY BOOK]. Since I know you need and deserve someone who can champion your work without hesitation, it’s clear to me that I am not the ideal person to represent you and your work. With that, I will pass, but know I will be cheering you on from the sidelines. Thank you again for the opportunity to review your work. I wish you the best as you forge ahead."
PB, 725 words.

01/12/23 - Kind rejection message: I'm sorry to say that this one just felt more on the adult side to me than young adult, and I don't currently represent adult projects. Since I know you need and deserve someone who can champion your work without hesitation, it’s clear to me that I am not the ideal person to represent you and your work. With that, I will pass, but know I will be cheering you on from the sidelines.

"Thank you for sharing your talent and for entrusting me with your work. After careful consideration, I don't think I am the best person to represent you, and since I know you need a champion who can enthusiastically present your artistry to the publishing industry, it only makes sense for me to pass. Again, know that I sincerely appreciate you thinking of me. I wish you much success."
