I read each one individually and like to take my time while I look at a story's potential. I will try my best to respond as quickly as I can, but know when I am especially busy with queries you may have to wait up to 8 weeks

Q: 5/30, LGBTQ coming of age, 68k words
Nudge: 8/10
Kind Rejection (unclear if form or personal): 8/11
This was the kindest rejection I've received thus far, and one that I found greatly encouraging. The President of BookEnds gave me a rejection previously and she warmly invited me to query another agent at BookEnds, if I thought there was a good fit. That was Emily and, based on her rejection, I can say that I would just love to keep querying BookEnds agents if they let me.

Extremely nice personalized letter. She says she doesn't feel she is the agent for it at this time. Stings but it is encouraging.
