Queried Gothic Horror/Paranormal Mystery on June 18th.
Personalised Rejection July 3rd.
This one hurt a little. Dorian seems a top-tier A agent and I would have loved to work with her. Her clients are very fortunate! :)
Thank you so much for your patience—sometimes the closer calls take the longest. Please know I carefully considered your project, but I don't feel I can offer representation at this time. I really enjoyed the premise, especially since it shares a lot of wonderful qualities with House of Monstrous Women by Daphne Fama, a title I represent. But because of these similarities, I feel I must step aside at this time. Nevertheless, I wish you every success with [Title]—don't give up!

One of the better, more encouraging form rejections, imo!
