Submitted to her as a referral and she called me by phone a few days after reading my pages to say it's not a fit for her, but not to get discouraged. She assured me I could call her again with any questions about the industry or my project. She was very kind and helpful.

Partial request same day 3/22/25 Sent 50 pages and synopsis.

Received this response after a partial request. I see others have received the same note, but it seems oddly worded: "The work is nicely done, but I don't have the passion that you need in an agent for their work to be done well. Fortunately, this is a subjective business, and I expect that you'll find an agent who has no reservations."

Polite next day rejection because they do not handle the genre. Pitched a 65k cozy mystery, so just note that they are looking for traditional mystery.

She was my first rejection and it was kind of a joyful situation because it made this process feel real and made me realize I can handle this. I think it’s so professional that she bothers to send quick form rejections. It respects how vulnerable it is to query.
