Very sweet, considerate man. He took the time to write with his rejection.

Personal reject. His reply got me to think about better ways to pitch my project. I was trying to sell to the agent, but its also need to consider how the agent will sell to the publisher.

I received a detailed, very helpful response from Kevin two days after my submission (query letter + first chapter). He liked it, with reservations, but felt he lacked the publishing contacts in my subject (baseball murder mystery), and so he rejected it. I highly recommend querying Kevin O'Connor.

ER: 10/27/2019. Personalized reject. The speed, as always, is appreciated, and his comments were nice and thoughtful, the project just isn't right for him.

Nice, personalized rejection. Head's up: he doesn't seem interested in YA sci-fi.

I echo others' positive experiences with Kevin. Recently, he's responded with detailed comments to two of my manuscripts, one of which he read twice when I revised it heavily. He ultimately passed on them, but it's so validating to have a busy, respected agent take the time to support my writing. I love writing but the business side of it is rough. It's reassuring to know there are professionals like Kevin out there rooting for us.

1 day response time. Kind email with a specific reason that he did not want to represent my book.

4 Day rejection:
“I can’t be of service on this. I don’t have the required experience or contacts to responsibly do you or your work justice. Best of luck getting this into the right hands soon.”

I guess I’ll try and see this in a positive light?

Quick response, but unfortunately, not right genre:
"I tend to focus on realistic contemporary and zany humor. I’m not so good with fantasy / action-adventure."

Kevin didn't end up representing me, but he did offer some of his thoughts and resources. He seems very nice and very helpful.
