Form rejection: 6/1/2026

Rejection felt personal, but it's a form. Regardless, it was kind:

Thank you so much for sending XXXXX for our consideration! The premise was so strong, and the worldbuilding was intriguing throughout. While we enjoyed your writing, we were unable to fully immerse ourselves in the narrative as much as we would need to be your champions. Unfortunately, we will have to step aside, but we will be cheering you on from the sidelines.

Wishing you all the best.

I got the same personalized-sounding rejection as the others below. My spirits were temporarily lifted and I thought about how I might revise to help the next agent more fully engage with the narrative. So even though her rejection sounded nice, it's sort of a bigger disappointment now that I know it's a from reject with likely no real advice behind it. Moving on...

Thank you so much for sending XXX for our consideration! The premise was so strong, and the characters were intriguing throughout. We loved the title!
