Rejection, June 2020. A copy-pasted response that still included the title of someone else's book.

I think this agent is the kind of agent you can attract after you've had book deals. His response time is so slow.

Dear AUTHOR,

Thank you very much for the opportunity to consider your query. I sincerely apologize for the delay in my reply, It turns out that your query was buried deep in my inbox and I have recently discovered it.

I have reviewed your query and I am sorry to say that I am just not getting excited for it as much as I should be. As such, I am going to step aside and let you find more enthusiastic representation elsewhere, if you haven’t already.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to learn more about you and I wish you the best of luck on your writing journey.

Best,
Joshua

From his bio on website:
With the success of the agency and his long-time clients, Joshua is no longer the main point of contact for newer writers via unsolicited queries, but does still solicit material from aspiring authors he meets at the conventions and conferences which he attends.
