Form rejection with some helpful resources:

Thank you for your query. I regret to say, it's not a perfect fit for me. I apologize for not having better feedback for you--sometimes it’s hard to put to words something that is just a matter of personal taste. I wish you much luck in your journey, and I appreciate you sharing your work with me.

If you'd like to learn more about publishing as you work toward publication, I highly suggest the following websites:

PublishingCrawl.com (a group blog featuring agents, editors, sales reps, and authors)
QueryTracker.net (A database of agents, made by the same people who created Query Manager!)
absolutewrite.com/forums/ (A discussion board, with a fantastic YA section as well as a "background check" section for agents, and a place to post your query for critique. You must have a thick skin, but it's an excellent resource!)

Very kind rejection:

Thanks so much for sending along PUTTING UP STARS, and for your patience while I've had it under consideration. I've had the chance to read a portion of the manuscript, and I'm sorry to say that I must pass, with regrets. I didn't connect with the writing as much as I'd hoped to. This is a highly subjective reaction, and I'm sorry I can't give you more concrete/constructive feedback. Another agent will likely feel differently.

Again-- I really appreciate you sharing your project with me, and do feel free to query again in the future. I hope we have the chance to work together.
