She responded very quickly and sweetly with her rejection letter. She wasn't negative about anything but gave me a little insight. I took her feedback and changed a few things that will hopefully get me a better response in the future.

Thank you for the quick response, and the kind rejection. Hurts a "little" less. 😁

Amazingly fast response time and though it was a form letter (one that others in this comments section have also received) it still laid out specific ways my MS was not a good fit and why she could not take it on at this time. Helpful feedback, regardless. 👍🏻

Thank you to Jessica for a quick and considerate reply. Makes a big difference. An excerpt, which it looks like others have received:
Thank you so much for querying BookEnds and for giving me the opportunity to review (TITLE). I did read your letter and am going to pass on looking at further material.
There are typically a few reasons that might lead to me passing on a query. The obvious two are that the book you've written falls too far outside standard and required word count ranges — for adult fiction that's traditionally between 75,000-100,000 words— or that you aren't writing in a genre I'm currently representing — this could be memoir, anything in children's, or another genre that might not have been on my list. And lastly, and most frequently, at the end of the day your pitch just didn't grab me. I read my queries as if I'm browsing for a new book in the bookstore. I wander to the genres I'm currently looking to read, glance at covers and titles, and then read the back cover copy. It is based on the back cover copy that I buy a book and it is based on a pitch that I request to read more material.
