Rejection: 12/12/22.
Non-fiction/memoir, roughly 80k words.
Dear [ME],
Thank you so much for querying me. [TITLE] sounds like an interesting project, but I'm afraid I'm going to pass on looking at more. My client list is very full, forcing me to be extremely selective about taking on anyone new at the moment, and I'm just not confident I'd be able to place your project. But please do keep querying other agents, and I wish you all the best with your writing career.
Best,
Jessica Alvarez
Least she was nice about it.

Rejection: 12/6
Thank you so much for giving me the chance to read TITLE.
While I was intrigued by your idea, I'm afraid I just didn't warm to the writing like I might have hoped.
I'm sorry I don't have better news. As you likely know, publishing is subjective and it's entirely possible you'll find another agent able to prove me wrong.
I wish you all the best with your publishing endeavors and want to thank you again for considering BookEnds.
Would have liked to get some specific feedback but it seems agents are veering more towards sending forms responses for fulls.
