Just got a rejection letter on February 2, 2019.
ER - 15/1/19
88K magical realism
Standard response
Partial (because she was very kind and I forgot to send the first 10 pages as she typically requests): 11/20/18
ER: 12/07/18
Same form letter as others - but she seems kind and considerate.
ER: 11/28/18
"Many thanks for sending me your submission, which I read with interest. I'm afraid, however, that I have decided not to offer representation. Our business is subjective by nature and another agent may well feel differently — I wish you the best of luck.
Best wishes,
Sarah"

Sounds like a form letter: "Many thanks for sending me your submission, which I read with interest. I'm afraid, however, that I have decided not to offer representation. Our business is subjective by nature and another agent may well feel differently — I wish you the best of luck."
I appreciate how quickly this came back, but I was definitely hoping for some kind of more helpful feedback.

Full request: May 13

Pretty terse rejection: "Many thanks for your patience while I considered this. I’m afraid, however, that in the end this one wasn’t for me, but I wish you the very best of luck." Makes me feel like she didn't actually read it... Definitely disappointed.
