Nudge: 4/3/24
Full request: 4/11/24
In 2023 I queried Marisa. I got a full request w/ an R & R from her assistant at the time, Alexandra. Today I queried that assistant, Alexandra Grana (she is not on querytracker at the moment), who has since become an agent at the agency. This is the resubmit based on her feedback.

It appears there is a rejection template that is tweaked in order to provide authors with feedback. The version I received was, "Even though we found many intriguing elements within your query and sample pages, after careful review and consideration we're sorry to say that Marisa is not the best fit for this project at this time, and will be kindly stepping aside."
I truly appreciate the feedback, and it was a huge confidence booster! Thank you!

Thank you for submitting your query for *********** to Corvisiero Literary Agency for our consideration. Even though we found great qualities within your query and synopsis, we didn't connect with the sample pages as strongly as we had hoped to champion the project.
I'm sorry to not have better news to share. The publishing industry is very subjective, so what may not work for us, could be just what another agent is looking for. We encourage you to continue your pursuit of publication. Keep honing your skills, learning about the industry, and always embrace a growth mindset. We're rooting for you!
Best of luck,
Jaclyn

Seems like maybe a partial form rejection. "Even though we found great qualities within your query and synopsis, we didn't feel as immersed in the story from reading the sample pages as we would need to be in order to champion the project."
