Thanks so much for thinking of me with this project. Unfortunately, it doesn’t match what I’m looking for at this time. This is an incredibly subjective business, so I encourage you to keep submitting this and I hope other agents feel differently!

Best of luck!

Rejections always suck, but Carrie's was at least thoughtful, kind, and detailed. I appreciate her outlining what worked for her and what didn't.

Kindest most encouraging rejection ever! It wasn't a rejection as much as an encouragement to keep going and find the right fit. This MS is going to find a home in time.

It felt personal and helpful. Not what shes looking for but encouraged me to keep submitting and that she hopes other agents feel differently.
