Submitted fiction PB on 2/28. He enthusiastically requested more manuscripts within a few hours and I sent them the next day. I nudged but still no response.

Kind rejection within an hour. Left a personalized note saying the subject matter of my YA thriller was too dark for his tastes. I appreciate the personalized reply, and encourage others to query him (maybe not with dark stuff, though!)

I queried him a couple of weeks ago, and he was kind enough to give me very helpful feedback, saying that he had trouble getting into the story. So I revised the opening and resent it, thinking “nothing ventured, nothing gained”—and explained that I had revised it and appreciated his previous feedback. Again, he responded with feedback, saying “I do think your opening chapter is more engaging. That said, I am inundated right now with MG projects. So I’m going to pass. But I do thank you, again. And I send my very good wishes.” What a gracious rejection! He sounds like a gem!

REALLY helpful rejection, and quick response (EQ Sat. 5/21; ER Mon. 5/23). I’m really glad that I’ve just started querying; I’ll have to have a hard look at the first 20 pages before querying more. Super nice of him to give such good feedback when so many agents don’t even reply.

ER: Semi-personalised, kindly-worded rejection (in a few hours)

Mr. Fraser seems wonderful. He sent me very helpful feedback about my middle grade novel. Congrats to all who work with him!

Was very quick to respond, liked PB concept and asked for additional manuscripts or concepts - said he never signs an author with only one project so it's on the backburner. I sent an additional concept and he said he liked it as well and provided useful feedback for refining.

ER: 10/6/21, about an hour after I sent the nudge. Short note saying it was not for him.

EQ 10/1, Fast personalized rejection with useful feedback, very kind. Wish all agents were like him. A no is always better than a no response.

PB around 600 words, Alzheimer's
Wow that was a very fast No. Received within 9 minutes. At least he's quick to respond.

EQ 8/11/2021 PB The Lost Thing
Received a less-than-one-hour response - while he may have read the MS, he did not look at portfolio and dummy, as he questioned how it could be a 32-page book.
