"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. "

Does anyone know anything about his Get In Touch form? Is something like this only to notify him if you've received another offer or similar news?
