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.

Rejection 7/12/21
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)
ER: Mar. 9, 2021 (he gave me feedback specific to my manuscript about why he decided it's a pass for him ;-)

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.
