Thank you for contacting Susan Ginsburg about representation. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer you representation at this time. Due to the large number of submissions Susan receives, she is forced to be extremely selective when considering new clients. After reflection, we don’t feel that this is a perfect fit for Susan’s list. Publishing is very subjective, however, and another agent may well feel differently.
I sincerely apologize for the impersonal nature of this reply—we receive hundreds of submissions a month.
Thank you again for thinking of Writers House. We wish you all the best of luck in the future.
ER- 6/23 from her assistant, Stacy.

Polite form rejection. Relatively quick response.

I had closed this out two weeks ago, even though Ms. Ginsburg has a high reply rate. The funny thing is, the request came via her assistant, Stacy Testa. Stacy is also a lit agent, and I had queried her (and been rejected) about a month before I queried Susan Ginsburg just to do my due diligence. It goes to show: Publishing is a ridiculously subjective business.
ER: 3/23/16
The kindest, most encouraging rejection I've ever received.
ER: 3/9/16 (from her assistant)
FR: 10/23 sent
ER: 2/17 definitely personalized

Rejection with comments, 8/19. Ugh.
