ER 3/28/2022 "I’m afraid it’s a pass. The writing just wasn’t winning me over the way I’d hoped it might, but thanks for the look."
If every agent replied as much as Harvey Klinger, the whole agent-finding process would be much saner

ER 1/18/22 from his assistant "does not seem like quite the right fit for Harvey"
ER: 01/14/22
From his assistant, doesn't seem like quite the right fit for Harvey.
Going to try another at this agency that might work better for me.

Same general comments as below.
FR: 4/9/21
In addition to the full short story collection, he requested to read the opening chapters of my novel. I am keeping my fingers crossed! His request came as such a lovely surprise. Will post updates.
Rejected the full on 5/10/21.
PR: Feb. 23, 2021 (sent same day)

Received response from Cate Hart, the query having been passed to her as a better fit
FR 1/19/21 (sent same day)
Exactly the same as others in this thread regarding his "didn't hold up" comment back to me.
FR: July 27
This guy's "sorry, not for me" response cracks me up for some reason. I guess you have to appreciate the timely reply.
EQ: 28 June 2020
Rejected with impersonal four word email: 29 June 2020
I feel like one day wasn't a lot of time to give anyone their full attention, and to have a four word rejection was upsetting, but glad I wasn't waiting for months.
