She seems like an incredibly kind agent, and I'm sure she's wonderful to her clients. That being said, she seemingly forgot to remove the note to personalize my form rejection (didn't receive any feedback in it). I received a letter with a giant PERSONALIZE in the center where the personalization was supposed to go. Not sure how to feel about that but it is funny

Same form rejection that everyone else gets, sounds personalized but is not. "I found your query and sample pages well-written with a strong concept. I have ultimately decided to step aside, but I think another agent is going to be intrigued enough to ask for the manuscript."

Very nice form rejection after 58 days. While I appreciate the words, i think it's a one size fits all approach, but the encouragement helps.
Thank you so much for thinking of me for X. I found your query and sample pages well-written with a strong concept. I have ultimately decided to step aside, but I think another agent is going to be intrigued enough to ask for the manuscript.
Good luck with all your publishing endeavors!
Sincerely,
Danielle

"Thank you for thinking of me for TITLE, and for your patience as I reviewed your materials. I so appreciated the chance to take a look!
You are a strong writer with an engaging voice and I found much here to love. That said, I'm having a hard time seeing how I would position this to break out in the crowded market. As a result, I have regretfully decided to step aside. I'm sorry not to be writing with better news, but I wish you the very best of luck in your career.
Stay tough out there and keep writing!"
