While this is definitely the kind of project I am interested in, ultimately I wasn’t as taken with your manuscript as I need to be in order to fully get behind it, and so I’m going to pass. I must remain extremely careful to only acquire projects about which I am wildly passionate, and thus I feel it is in your best interest that I step aside and allow you to continue your search for representation elsewhere.

Please remember that this is only one opinion in what is a highly subjective business and another agency may very well feel differently. Thank you again for thinking of me, and of Writers House, and the very best of luck to you in your search for the right agent.

Dear AUTHOR:

Thank you very much for sending me TITLE OF WORK and thank you for your patience as I considered it.

FR: 8/16/18 (sent same day)
Nudged 11/26/18 (never got confirmation he received full) Quick response that he never received it and to send again
ER: 1/29/19 Through and detailed response outlining where he felt the manuscript was lacking and advice on what to rework if I wish to resubmit later down the road. He was honest, but never did I feel like the pass was harsh. Stand up guy, I would defiantly query again.

38 days for a response (in line with timing noted by others). Form reaction, same wording as people have quoted below. From the interviews I read online, he sounds like a pretty cool guy.
