She replied within a day, which was very nice, even if it was a rejection :)

That's the problem with the personalized/semi-personalized rejection approach. If everyone gets the impersonal "not for me" letter, that's fine. If everyone gets the personal/semi-personal rejection mentioning positives, it can at least be a bit encouraging. But when you have some personalized/semi-personalized rejections and some completely impersonal rejections, those impersonal ones can end up leaving those authors feeling worse than if it was just a standard form letter for all, because, whether it is the intent of the agent or not, it gives the impression that the agent found nothing to like, or that it wasn't worth the effort of adding any personalization, leaving the author feeling insulted, like the query was a waste of our time and theirs.
Again, that may not be her intention, but that is a risk that comes along with mixing personalized/semi-personalized and entirely impersonal rejection letters.

Query 4/23/24
Rejection 4/25/24
Was happy with what I thought was a more personalized rejection after dozens of forms on this book, but nope, seems she likes a LOT of voices and concepts. I appreciate the effort to be nice given how soul crushing this process is for writers, and this agent seems genuinely splendid, but sometimes an impersonal and honest "not for me" letter feels better than a taste of false hope.

Single-sentence form rejection.
"I'm sorry, but your project does not sound like a fit for me at this time, and so I will have to pass."
About as impersonal as you can get, which is disappointing, given the other mentions about personalized notes in the rejections.Oh well. Another agent crossed off the list.

I participated in #DVPit this past October and got a like from her! Sent her my query (adult romantasy) on 10/14. 101 days later, still haven't heard from her. Wonder what it is about my query + pages that's making her so indecisive? Guess I'll eventually find out!

I do like how transparent she is on Twitter. It's nice to know she hasn't forgotten those of us who've been in the queue for a while!

SAME DAY EDIT: omg, full request!! Such a sweet note, too, apologizing for the wait.

@KathrynFaye007, I almost did, but she said on Twitter I think that she was aware that some have been waiting awhile and she promised to get to them, so I didn't want to bother her.

2/22/2024: Cute/Nicely-worded rejection. The book just wasn't for her. She's not a cozy fan, y'all, FYI. Keep it dark and pace-y with her.
