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."

Ultimately rejected. Alice was very kind and engaging in process. You’d be lucky to have her as an agent, I was really hopeful for this one!
