Thank you for including me in your agent queries. Due to an extremely high volume of submissions, I have to be particularly selective about which projects I represent. Unfortunately, I have decided to pass on X, but I wish you the best of luck in finding an agent.
Sincerely,
Laura Zats

"Thank you so much for your query, and for sending me the full manuscript of [TITLE]. While I really enjoyed the premise and initial pages of your work, [TITLE] doesn't seem like a good fit for my list at this time, so I'm going to step aside.
I wish you the best of luck on your publishing journey.
Laura"
It's rough out here, folks! It's true what they say - rejection hurts. Who would've thought?
I wanted to post these details, though, for anyone interested in this agent's turnaround time. Good luck to everyone.
