"No high fantasy. No fantasy worlds, creatures, dimensions, etc.
Your story needs to be grounded in the real world with elements of magic for me to consider because editors feel the market is saturated and not buying it. If your story fits send it to my Query Manager"
I'm torn because High Fantasy, I think of as being something like Middle Earth or Westeros mythical creatures and sub species of humans.
BUT my Fantasy does take place in another world, just with none of the extra-ness of Tolkien's or Martin's world....

I understand agents are swamped and giving feedback isn't always helpful, but even a little bit of reasoning would have been nice. Got a generic 'not fit for my list' pass, but that feels like the kind of reply one would give from the original query, not a full, so not sure what to make of it overall.

Message from Anissa on 12/11/22 letting me know she was enjoying the read and that she would be on holiday vacation until January 9th of 2023 and to let her know of any updates or offers in the meantime.
Rejection of full: 1/11/23 with a form response.
Pretty disappointing considering she corresponded with me to make sure the manuscript was still available and wanted me to know she liked what she'd read so far. One would think an agent would offer even a small bit of feedback were they to pass on a manuscript they had already expressed interest and enjoyment in reading.
Have to say this one was mildly depressing.

"Graphic Novels are still my number one interest but no longer my sole interest, I want novels to sell. I am interested in character-driven stories with a strong voice and an original or unique take on a story. I have a background and interest in children's books but a love of thrillers, horror, romance, and mystery. I need fully developed characters that I care about and who have a purpose leading your story, I want positive stories that entertain, I want to showcase your diverse representations that are organic, quirky characters all with fulfilling conclusions, and I want to read positively frightening tales leaving you wondering if you wet the bed... and are too afraid to get up and check."
