Thank you for your query. I’m sorry, but I’m afraid that your project does not seem like one I could successfully represent at this time. I hope you succeed in your search for enthusiastic representation.

Sent a query 05/25/2022 and got a request for a full the very next day. This agent is extremely kind and communicative. After reading the full, he passed on offering representation but gave me wonderful feedback and left the door open to query in the future. Quick, helpful and kind. What else can you ask for?

Rejected after partial request:

Thank you for sending me the manuscript for _____. The story concept is really unique and intriguing, but unfortunately I just didn't connect enough with your voice, so I'm going to respectfully step aside. As you know, the marketplace is very crowded, and I really need to be passionate about any new projects I take on.
Thank you for the opportunity, and good luck with other agents.
All best,
Jon

I wish agents would tell us exactly WHY they don't like the "voice."

Nudge with offer of rep: 6/19/2022

he said he wouldn't be able to read the manuscript within my deadline because of his packed schedule, but the note was very kind and complimentary! Jon seems like a super nice guy, definitely recommend querying!
