An FYI about this agent- she caught a problem in my account of my publication history (she requests them in queries), which would make things really sticky for my new book... unshoppable, actually, and therefore, unrepresentable. It's a detail I was totally unaware was even a problem. Rather than sending me a form rejection, she took the time to explain the tricky bits to me, over the course of a couple of emails, and offered to reconsider my query if it could be resolved.
It is now. And so, after a momentary interruption, I've raised my query shield and sword again.
This agent kind of saved my ass. In this process of form rejections and non-response, I thought it might be nice to share that.
