Friendly/semi-personalised feedback as below: -
Thanks so much for thinking of me at Stimola Literary Studio. I really enjoyed reading this and meeting the characters in this book - there is a lot of potential here. However, although there was a lot that resonated in your pitch and sample, this is going to be a pass. I can only take on a few new authors a year, and so I must feel with great certainty that we’ll be successful getting your book into the marketplace. Without this confidence, I can’t move forward, but I do think another agent may feel different, so do keep trying! (I don't usually send rejections, but this one was a close call, so I wanted to thank you and wish you well.)
All best,
Alli

Thanks so much for thinking of me at Stimola Literary Studio. I’m afraid that although there was that resonated in your pitch and sample and aligned with my interests, this is going to be a pass. I can only take on a few new authors a year, and so I must feel with great certainty that we’ll be successful getting your book into the marketplace. Without this confidence, I can’t move forward, but I do think another agent may feel different, so do keep trying!
All best,
Alli
