Auto response said it could take up to 8 weeks for a response, but I'm at 5+ and he responds to so few queries that I think I'll just close this one out. I'm bummed because he had really encouraged me on a previous submission to him, so I hoped he would likewise enjoy this one, but... Not to be.

"Thank you for your interest in working with me. Unfortunately, I do not feel that your work is a fit for my list.

The rest of this email is one of many form responses that I use to give writers a bit of additional feedback. If you are receiving this response, the style of story being pitched did not have a compelling enough hook for me at this time or did not seem like a fit for the editors at publishing houses I typically work with and that is the primary reason I chose not to read on.

This is a subjective business. Another agent may feel differently. I wish you all the best in your search for representation. "
