I did not receive the YA rejection:

Thank you for considering me for your project. Unfortunately, XXX does not sound like a fit for me at this time, and so I will have to pass. Thank you for considering me, and best of luck for your project's success

I received a rejection stating she doesn't accept YA books, but my book is adult fantasy. I'm wondering if this is a messaging error, as others seem to be experiencing the same thing.

Like several others, I received a form rejection stating that she does not accept YA. My book is not YA, it's adult fantasy (and the query stated this clearly).
