Personalized rejection on a partial, although no advice that could be considered “helpful.“ Said he liked my opening chapters, but I had too many plotting ideas going on and he was hoping I’d focused on one specifically. Although he didn’t mention which one. Lol.

Since he only read the first 3 chapters (if even that), I must assume he based his decision to pass on my synopsis. *sigh*

Withdrew partial because manuscript needed more editing. He acknowledged the withdrawal and told me to submit again when I was ready.

Thank you so much for your interest in Greyhaus Literary Agency. I appreciated having the chance to review this proposal.

I have had the opportunity to look over your initial proposal. Unfortunately, I am deciding to pass on this project. As you are aware, an agent has to really fall in love with a project to want to pursue it. In many cases, it is simply a matter of the premise making a strong impact with me from the start. Sometimes it is an issue of the plot elements simply not something that works for me. That is what happened here.

I do understand the writing may be strong, but this just came down to a subjective call. This is not an issue of the manuscript having something to revise. It was just that connection.

I would also remind you that even though this didn't work for me, it might certainly work for another agent.

Best of luck with this project.

Also nice personal note. Told me my work doesn't seem to fit in his area of genres and then was kind enough to tell me what genre he thinks it does belong in. Useful information is good. I appreciate it.

Nice personal note. He had previously requested a partial for another of my manuscripts, so I was hoping he would for this YA paranormal romance too, but no. Oh well.
