“The voice in this sparkled, however, I didn't fall in love with the fantasy elements.”

"I know I was supposed to open to subs last week, but I’ve had a bit of a setback with covid. I look forward to reading your work when I can! ????"
Rejection: 5/16/2022
I opened this rejection expecting a form letter, but Dorian left the nicest comments about this project. The rejection still hurts, but it was so nice to read what she had to say about my book!
Full request: 1/3 (sent same day)
Nudge: 4/4 (replied the next morning saying her response times have been a bit longer this year, but she will get to it at her soonest)
Rejection: 5/12
Very kind rejection, said she liked it but is being very picky with YA fantasy. Suggested I query her colleague Lisa Abellera.

A very personal, to the point, but nice rejection :)
"Thank you for your query. Please know I carefully considered your project, but I don’t feel I can offer representation at this time. The marketplace is more selective than ever and I must keep a modest list. The premise is interesting, however, I have to be extra picky when considering new fantasy projects due to the current market. This is very subjective, so don't give up! Nevertheless, I wish you every success with THE NECROMANCY OF OZYMANDIAS AND ANNABEL! Keep going with it, there are numerous agents out there that may be a good fit. I wish you the best of luck!"
