"Per our query guidelines, we do require a full book proposal for nonfiction submissions since publishers will ask for a similar document when you are on submission. You are welcome to re-submit to us after completing the proposal."

This is really puzzling. It came with an article that purports to tell me what they want, and everything that's in that article was in my proposal. I've also looked up a lot of sample proposals and mine is perfectly consistent with all of them - target audience, marketing plan, chapter list, the whole thing.

So what did I leave out? How am I supposed to send a "full" proposal when no one will tell me what's missing? After 12 years of this nonsense, I'm sick of trying to read their minds. If they're going to throw up all these obstacles, why not just lock the gates and only take referrals? It's obviously what they want to do anyway.

Two novels, two rejections, two different excuses.

Also, if the fantasy market is "currently saturated", why the hell are all these agents still asking for fantasy submissions?

Based on the comments below, I don't know whether the rejection is form, personal or a combination; I think its the latter.

"Even though we found great qualities within your query and synopsis, we didn't feel as immersed in the story from reading the sample pages as we would need to be in order to champion the project."

form rejection after 30 days for YA time travel: Unfortunately, Marisa is not the best fit for this project at this time, so we are going to step aside.
