Form rejection from secretary. Writers House does not allow simultaneous submissions, but after a rejection from one agent, you can query another agent.

It really is disheartening to discover that in order to sign with an agent at Writers House, one needs to jump over the hurdle with their intern first. I've heard Alec Shane is the worse.

Fridays are when the interns are in the office to cut and paste in the rejection letters ... <cynical grin>.

Thank you for contacting Susan Ginsburg about representation for XXXXX. 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.

Best,
Catherine Bradshaw
