Queried 31st October
Full Request 11th November
R&R 13th December: Her message was super sweet—and if I wasn’t already so used to the ‘you’re clearly a very skilled and talented writer, BUT’ personalized messages by now—it would have been more inspiring to hear it AGAIN haha. She said she’d love to see any other projects I have if I don’t plan to do the R&R.
Full Request for my Fantasy novel: 13th Dec

Regency Romance 90k
You guys I was so certain I would get a pass, and when I got the request I was already about to delete the mail certain it was a pass. But then I saw *full* and read it to see it was a request. Wish me luck!

Does she not rep adult fantasy? Her MSWL lists several adult fantasy books, but it's not a genre option on Query Manager.

"You are clearly a talented and imaginative writer – there is much to be admired in these pages.
That said, unfortunately, I didn't fall in love with the manuscript as much as I had hoped. I'm sorry to not have more constructive feedback. I am going to step aside so that you can go ahead and find a representative who will give your work the full enthusiasm it so richly deserves.
I am sorry to disappoint you, and to pass on such an original piece of writing."
