Queried: 5/21/24 - Memoir
Full Request: 5/22/24
Sent Full Manuscript: 5/22/24
Rejected: 7/16/24
Received a very kind rejection after she had read my manuscript which gave me some hope. Said the writing was strong and the story compelling, but that she didn't personally feel connected to the story enough to represent it. I was very grateful for her thoughtfulness.
