I love how prompt Bookends Lit is...even if it's a rejection haha At least I know! I've been waiting to query Ms. Faust for a while, but my project wasn't the right fit.
Thank you so much for querying BookEnds and for giving me the opportunity to review TITLE. I did read your letter and am going to pass on looking at further material.
I'm sorry I don't have better news. I am lucky to have a full and active client list and for that reason, I've become very particular about taking on new clients. This is by no means a criticism of your work. It's quite possible you'll find someone else who feels differently. I encourage you to keep querying and even consider other BookEnds agents for your work.
I wish you all the best in your search for representation and thank you again for giving BookEnds the opportunity.

Personal and polite rejection 2/25
While I was bummed, I knew this was coming. Made me happy to see she put the time in to hand write the rejection. I’ve already queried my second book to her now, so fingers crossed!

Super fast same-day rejection, even if it was a form letter. It's very helpful not to be stuck in limbo.

Dear Anthony,
