Query: 4/17
She passed my query to another agent, who asked for a full manuscript on 4/20. Fingers crossed.
Email rejection: 5/15
Dear Terry,
Thanks so much for sending ___________ along. Unfortunately, I'm going to be passing at this time.
I'm sorry this wasn't a match. While I found much to admire here, I wasn't ultimately convinced I would be the best possible advocate for this project.
Thank you again, sincerely, for the chance to take a look. I wish you all the best with this project.
Best,
Jim

5/28 Kind and thoughtful (not a form) rejection on a partial. I believe that anyone who gets the opportunity to work with Amy will be very pleased. She seems like a gem.
