This one hurt.

Q: 12/18/25

Full Request: 1/09/26

Thank you so much for being in touch. I'd love to consider TITLE. Please send the manuscript -- as well as a copy of your query so I have it handy -- to me at (email). I'm looking forward to reading more.

My best,
Kate

(Personal?) Rejection via email: 1/21/26

Thanks so much for sending these files and for giving me a chance to consider TITLE. While it’s a fascinating premise, I’m afraid I wasn’t as drawn in by the characters as I was hoping to be, and so I’ll have to pass. I’m grateful for the opportunity, though, and I wish you the best of luck on your path to publication.

All my best,
Kate

Form Rejection via QueryTracker: 1/21/26

Thank you for sending me the manuscript for TITLE. I'm sorry to say, though, that the material does not seem to be a fit for my list at this time, and so I must pass. Sorry.

Thank you for the opportunity, and good luck with other agents.
