Having a partner already lined up means the recruiter doesn't need to find someone for you to partner with, and given the general overall quality of recruiters these days (absolutely terrible) I wouldn't be surprised that they went with what was easiest for them to book. I also wouldn't take it as a sign of the quality of your work, just their boundless laziness.

That sucks. Sorry about that. Maybe they found a team and it was easier for them ??
You’ll find something better.
Get a partner
Sometimes they want a team. Sometimes solo folks. I find mostly solo.
Yeah it’s pretty common. Usually when I need a FL team, it’s because something unplanned for popped up, and we need support ASAP. So if we have a team ready, or a single that we still need to find a partner for, the edge favors the team.
If I were you, I would build relationships with a few partners that you can share as options when an agency reaches out.

I told them I had a couple people in mind to ask but no guarantees that they’d be available. Just to appease them but said people wouldn’t have done the same in my position.
Be more specific next time. “I like working with these three partners, here are their books and contact information. Let me know if you would like me to introduce you!”

That’s solid advice. But I wouldn’t even come to mind if they were offered freelance and needed a writing partner. I just wanted the gig.
