Polite form rejection within one business day. She has an extensive wish list and bio so it was a little disappointing she didn't see the fit but I would encourage anyone fitting her criteria to submit.

Polite auto reply: I am currently on holiday and will not be checking email during this time. I look forward to being in touch when I'm back online on Monday, August 8th. Thanks so much for your patience in the meantime!
8-15-22: Polite rejection: Thank you so much for contacting me about representation. Unfortunately, I don’t think your book would be quite right for my list at this time. Publishing is very subjective, of course, and I’m sure another agent will feel differently. Thank you for thinking of Writers House. I wish you all the best of luck with this project.
