Q: 8/12/2026 Historical / magical realism 100k
R: 9/4/2026 Form rejection that sounds confusing: "This is a compelling story in a strong style, but I'm afraid I just wasn't completely captured by both in execution enough to feel I'd be your best champion." I find this form rejection confusing and contradictory.

Ms. Danielle Bukowski gave me a personally written rejection. It's my first personally written rejection. Being told I'm a skilled writer was really touching and assuring. Thank you so much for your kindness, Danielle.
"Dear [Sages],
Thank you for sending me your query. You're a skilled writer, but I'm afraid I just didn't fall in love with this plot enough to feel I'd be your best champion. It's a subjective response, I know, and I also know another agent will disagree and connect with this wholeheartedly.
I wish you the best of luck on your path to publication.
Sincerely,
Danielle"
