Really kind form rejection with a personalized paragraph in the middle. She said she was hoping for more world-building built into the prose, and more emotional context with the protagonist up front. She said she'd be willing to read again with significant revision.
ER: 3/16/20
Adult horror at 68k words (more of a long shot in this particular case, but worth the effort)
Be aware that the QueryManager form requires a fifty-page sample upload.
Nice form rejection 3.11.2020
ER: 3.11.2020
Adult rom-com, 72k words
It's surprising, because her QM form doesn't list romance or rom-com as one of the genres she reps -- not sure why she liked the pitch then! Let's hope for the best, regardless.

Kind rejection, mentioned that she liked various elements of my story but believed it slanted too far into epic fantasy for her tastes.

Encouraging and didn't leave me hanging for days. Thanks, Dorian!
ER: 2/18/20 - Personalized rejection (looks like a form w/ a personalized paragraph inserted in the middle). Very pleasant and kind. Same thing I've been getting from a lot of others: indie authors own contemp/urban fantasy right now and it's an incredibly tough sell. Bummer!

ER w/ R&R: 12/19/2019
Personalized rejection that said the concept sounded awesome but that the story's voice was too young. Said she'd do an R&R if I wanted one.

Form rejection 2-10-20- that was fast!
ER: 1/27/20
Fastest rejection yet! Form letter with some minimal customizing - "While I love the concept, I had a hard time grounding myself in the story." And the same encouragement she usually includes. Nice form letter.
