Response Time: Not Stated
REJ: 2022-12-19 - Holy **** Batman! Wasn't that quick?
Nice enough response, "I'm afraid I'm not the right agent for this project. I thank you for the chance to read your work and wish you much luck in getting XXXX published."
But obviously it didn't get all that far into the process. Not the right agent for my stuff. But she didn't seem to be that great a fit, so I'm not all that surprised.

Coming-of-Age, 89k
Update: I am now deliberating between two offers of representation (30 June) and am very sorry to report Caryn is not among them. She is a careful agent who takes the time to really read the material she requests and all subsequent communications with her were personal and encouraging. I wish only the best for her and her clients.
