Jennifer's rejection came in only six days. Her letter included this:
I truly believe in the power of revision. With me, no means not yet, and I am always open to reading a new project or a significant revision in 6+ months, if you still think I could be a good fit for you at that time.

Kind rejection after 2 weeks. Personalized, she said "even though I am not able to offer representation at this time, please know that I personally read your query and considered your project". Said she would be happy to be considered again for future projects. I was crossing my fingers for her, but I will try her again in the future with Hopefully a better outcome!

Yes very long, very odd rejection. Begins with the usual form rejection of not a right fit and "I wish I could give more personalized feedback and advice. Unfortunately, I don't have the time at this point in my career." Then goes into detail about believing in the power of revision and "I am always open to reading a new project or a significant revision in 6+ months, if you still think I could be a good fit for you at that time."
IMO if an agent can take the time to write all that after saying they don't have time, they could've given actual feedback. Why say you aren't interested then talk about revisions and resubmitting?

Thank you so much for thinking of me. I appreciate the chance to consider TITLE. It's a lovely story. Unfortunately, the project is not the right fit for my list at this time, and so I am going to step aside for now.
I am sorry not to offer you representation at this time, but I am grateful for this opportunity to consider your work.
I wish I could give more personalized feedback and advice. Unfortunately, I don't have the time at this point in my career. While this particular project is not the right fit for my list, I encourage you to keep striving for publication. I truly believe in the power of revision. With me, no means not yet, and I am always open to reading a new project or a significant revision in 6+ months, if you still think I could be a good fit for you at that time.
Thank you again for thinking of me and our agency. We wish you the very best of luck as you move forward!
Best,
Jennifer

A bit of an awkward letter, I must admit :-) good intended, yet too let-me-down-gently. I did feel she had genuinely considered my query.
Lit. Fic. 79,000 in Hebrew (already published and amazing reviews).

@salicat i submitted YA fantasy to her and it didn't seem to be an issue! i was unfortunately rejected for other reasons, but she did include her note to resubmit in six months if i feel she's still a fit. mine was a contemporary fantasy.

I noticed she doesn't have YA fantasy on her dropdown- but her twitter said she's okay with contemporary fantasy (that's accessible to readers who aren't into high fantasy). Anyone submit YA fantasy to her, or have info?
