ER - 05/11/2019
Form - oh, and got my name wrong too (Carl)
And it isn't personalized, it's a form.
Carl: I'm afraid this won't work for us. Today, publishers typically make business (rather than artistic / creative) decisions; only taking on what their sales and marketing departments say is a sure thing. And this isn't sure to break out of a very crowded marketplace. Others might feel differently however, so obviously don't take my response as the final word.
ER 5/13/19 (Passed--didn't work out and not good fit)
ER 3/22
He wrote a personalized note about the premise might not sell well in a crowded market but not to take his word as "final"
Nice personalized rejection 2/20, essentially, "publishers only choose what's guaranteed to sell well and while this reads quite well, we can't count on sales."
11/3/18: form rejection
ER: 9-17-18
I'm afraid this won't work for us, but others might feel differently, so obviously, don't take my response as the final word.
Sincerely,

PR: 9/13
Form rejection 9/15. Of note: there was an email trail of form rejections to other authors in his response. Unfortunate but happens, won’t take it personally.

Form letter
ER: 05/29/2017 form rejection
"Sorry, but this won' work for us. "
CNR 3/22/17 (No word from nudge.) Will try him with CR later this spring.
ER: 3/9/17

Polite and quick, which is better than being left hanging for months. Sounds complimentary but very general so most likely a form rejection.
I'm afraid this won't work for us. Today, publishers typically make business (rather than artistic/creative) decisions; only taking on what their sales and marketing departments say is a sure thing. And although this reads quite well - it isn't sure to break out of a very crowded marketplace. However, others might feel differently, so please don't take my response as the final word.
Sincerely,
Steve Schwartz
