Dear Kayla,

Thank you so much for your query, but I am going to pass at this time. Unfortunately, while I was intrigued by the concept, the story progression—as outlined by the synopsis—didn't connect with me as much as I'd hoped. Due to this, I don't believe I'm the right agent to champion this piece. Thank you for considering me for your work, and I wish you luck in your writing future.

Personalized rejection 4/3
Invitation to R & R based on a few slips to passive voice. Loved writing/ concept, etc, otherwise. But I think, reading more about her, I won’t resubmit. I’ve got 3 fulls out and I think my work is not as high fantasy as she seems to like. It is magical realism lit fic, with lots of character driven parts. But she was very pleasant in the rejection

I think that the beta reader line is a new addition to her form letter, this was her reply to me from back in October (to be fair, it was in response to a requested pitch contest query, so it was slightly personalized. (MG 31,000)

Dear [Raelyn21],

Thank you so much for your submission, but I am going to pass at this time. Unfortunately, while I think you have an inventive concept and a good voice, I didn't connect with the story progression—as outlined in the synopsis—and the ending felt too extravagant to really pull me in. Due to this, I don't believe I'm the right agent to champion this piece.

Thank you for considering me for your work, and I wish you luck in your writing future.
