Huh?

I don't know quite what to make of this latest rejection. I sent my full by email to an agent who had liked the first 3 chapters. Today I got a response back, in reply to my partial email, saying that she thought I was an "interesting" writer, but that the chapters didn't draw her in enough to want to read further. Say wha'?

I find it hard to believe that she couldn't remember reading the chapters and requesting the full. I sent her an email requesting some clarity, but I'm kind of at a loss in the meantime, wondering if this was just some goof by an assistant or if she actually just rejected my full.

Any thoughts?

Thanks, guys. Toothpaste, I sent her the full back in October, which is why it befuddled me when she said the thing about not wanting to "read any further."

I don't know...maybe I'm just clinging to a flimsy thread here.

I had bigger hopes for this one, seeing as how my other full requests came from just a query or query+first five pages. But I think I'll take Birol's advice, and sit tight for awhile. My new project certainly needs all the attention it can get!

The agent was nice enough to respond promptly. There was a mix-up with her email filing system, so this rejection was a mistake. She still wants to read the full, which makes me quite happy.

I feel like a dying man who has just been given a reprieve (or some metaphor slightly less dramatic).

Anyway, thanks to everyone for holding my hand!
