Thank you for sending me your query! Unfortunately, after careful consideration, I have decided that it's not a great fit for me at this time. While I thought your writing was very strong in XXXXXXXX I ultimately struggled to fall in love with your premise. There are a lot of common elements within your story and didn't find there to be a fresh enough spin here that would make this sellable in comparison to everything else on the shelf. I am sorry I am not emailing with better news and no doubt another agent will feel differently. I wish you all the very best luck finding a great home and enthusiastic champion for your work. Thank you for considering me and best of luck with your future queries!

Thank you so much for sending me a query of [redacted]. Unfortunately, because this project is 62000 words, I'm having trouble seeing how I could sell something this short in Young Adult : Fantasy. This doesn't seem like a great fit for me, so I'm going to pass on this project. Thank you for considering me and best of luck with your future queries!



This may or may not be one of her many form letters that she sends, unsure if she has one that mentions word count specifically as why she would reject. But I do appreciate her specifically mentioning it regardless.

Thank you for sending me your query! Unfortunately, after careful consideration, I have decided that it's not a great fit for me at this time. While the premise was engaging and interesting, I'm afraid that I struggled to connect with your writing. It didn't propel me into the story the way that I'm looking for. I am sorry I am not emailing with better news and no doubt another agent will feel differently. I wish you all the very best luck finding a great home and enthusiastic champion for your work. Thank you for considering me and best of luck with your future queries!

A form letter, but I'm upbeat that my premise wasn't the problem. I can fix the writing

Very polite and encouraging rejection. I got the same letter as many others. I suspect she has a couple different letters that she sends based on the circumstances. Even though it wasn’t a personalized rejection, I really appreciated it because I got to know why she was rejecting it, and I felt as if she took care with her consideration. I would definitely recommend querying her!

"Thank you for sending me the manuscript for --. Unfortunately, after careful consideration, I have decided to pass on the project. While your writing is strong and vivid, I found myself struggling to fall in love with your premise. There are a lot of very common elements that make up the building blocks of your story and, unfortunately, I didn't feel that there was a fresh enough spin on it to make this stand out in the genre. I am sorry I am not emailing with better news and no doubt another agent will feel differently. Thank you for thinking of me and for the opportunity to read your work. I wish you all the very best luck finding a great home and enthusiastic champion for your project."

@wckdwriter, she lists fantasy on her QueryManager form.
