I received the kindest and most specific rejection thus far from Laura Gruszka, Ms. Sherman's assistant. She specifically praised my work in such a way that it was quite obvious attention was given to the first 10 pages requested. Getting rejected is awful, but the respect with which my submission was treated made the blow less painful. (MG Contemporary Fiction, 55,000 words)

Thank you so much for your query. While Rebecca found your concept to be engaging, she doesn’t feel she is quite the right fit for your work. Due to a very full client list, she needs to be especially selective about pursuing new projects.
Someone else may have a different approach that better fits your needs and is better suited to you and your work. We hope you find the right advocate for your projects. Thank you again for thinking of Rebecca, and we wish you the best of luck in finding representation.

I’m highly selective in the PB category, and I accept illustrators and author/illustrators only—if you’ve just written picture book text, I’m not the best match for you.
