Very kind rejection saying he loved the concept but didn’t have enough experience with the type of book, very fair!

Interested in book, but not a genre he is representing at this time. MG Fantasy, 80K

A standup guy in a business that can leave you feeling really discouraged. He responded to my query after two weeks, asked to read my proposal, and gently rejected my memoir shortly thereafter. Most of the memoirs he handles are essay-centered, and mine is linear, so he said he wouldn't know how to edit my work with my vision in mind. He also provided some really helpful tips for fixing up my opening pages. I wish all agents were like Eric.

Same day polite personalised rejection on MG Mystery 39k
Said he had a client working on a similar project (which seems to be common based on these comments).

R: 6/4
Not interested in historical, but my book is not historical, which leads me to believe he did not read the full query, which specifies the novel is literary fiction.
