Rejection - 6/11/25
Received kind of an odd rejection that asked a lot of open ended questions about my book's concept, almost all of which could be answered simply by reading the text. I'm not sure why she took the time to personalize it if she wasn't interested and didn't have anything constructive to say. Has anyone else run into this with this agent?

Form rejection:
"Thank you very much for sending your query for [ ]. Unfortunately, this didn't quite appeal enough to my own tastes for me to offer representation of your project. While I would like to respond to everyone with constructive criticism, it would take an overwhelming amount of time and energy. I do want to emphasize that the publishing business is highly subjective, and that there have been many instances where a project I didn't connect with has gone on to find critical and commercial success. I appreciate the opportunity to get to know more about you and your work, and wish you the best success in your journey to publication."
