“Thank you for sending me your query. Unfortunately, I would lose my job if I chose to represent your work. Your ideas are fresh and original—but they’d be better served if someone with talent wrote them.

In 99.9999% of cases, I discourage writers from using artificial intelligence. However, your submission makes a compelling argument in its favor. At least then, the term intelligence would apply somewhere in the creative process.

Don’t be discouraged. Given recent developments in the economy, there will always be openings for those willing to embrace more manual roles. Ditch diggers can be poets, too.

Wu-Tang forever.”

Just kidding. I received a warm and very personalized form rejection:

Thank you for thinking to query me. I'm going to pass, but I wish you the best of luck finding an agent.

Best,

Hillary
