24/4/25 query request from qcrit post on Pubtips; immediate full request
25/4/25 call scheduled for 29/4
29/4/25 offer of rep!
If you're hesitant to post about your work on social media, don't be. This is the second time my posting online has reaped results (in 2019 I got a job working as an agent assistant by posting reviews on GR).

Q: 4/24 (Adult Fantasy 105k)
FR: 4/24 (within 30 mins lollll)
Same form rejection comment: "Just because I wasn't quite drawn in, however, doesn't mean there isn't another agent out there who will love it. I encourage you to re-work your query so that the plot points, obstacles, and character(s) attempts to overcome them are more clear."

Guess it wasn't for her lol, totally understand. At least she didn't call out anything specific....?
"Dear [REDACTED],
Thank you for the opportunity to see your pages. Unfortunately, I don't feel I am the right agent for this project, so I'm passing. Just because I wasn't quite drawn in, however, doesn't mean there isn't another agent out there who will love it. I encourage you to re-work your query so that the plot points, obstacles, and character(s) attempts to overcome them are more clear.
I wish you the best of luck on your writing journey!
Best,
Kiki"
