CNR @ 60 days as this agent doesn't typically respond and when they do, it's typically quicker than this.

-Jemima sent a kind personalised (I think?) rejection, '[...] I’ve now had a chance to review the sample and I’m going to step aside. It’s a really strong voice which is I’m sure what’s drawing other agents to it, but I didn’t quite gel with it.'
