She is fast! I'm super impressed. She also provided me some personalized feedback which I am SO grateful for and which really helps take the sting out of the rejection. Her feedback helps me understand something about my manuscript I've been worried about, and I feel I have a clear path forward to my next steps. I'm disappointed not to be able to work with her, but maybe she'll still be open to queries when I'm ready to send out my next ms. :)

Thanks so much for thinking of me with this project. Unfortunately, even though there are some great elements, it didn't quite spark for me. Please keep in mind this is an incredibly subjective business, so I encourage you to keep submitting and I hope other agents feel differently.
Best of luck!
