Thanks for sharing your work. I’m dealing with some family stuff so I can’t take this on. Sorry. Best of luck with it!
Cheers,

Hi All
Thanks for reaching out. I'm working through some family health things and closed for submissions at this time and won't be able to respond. I hope to be able to re-open to submissions in the spring. Thanks for understanding.
Cheers,
Kevin

Personalized rejection that client is working on book with somewhat similar premise and wouldn't be fair to rep both. Very kind and encouraging.
Full request (within two hours!!)
Rejection: 01/23
He said he wanted my main character to be more likable at the beginning. He also said he wasn't much of a scifi guy and only requested my full because my query was good. Why request something you know you're not going to like? I'm pretty disappointed.

As others have noted, sent an extremely kind rejection -- said he liked what I was doing but due to his lack of passion for the subject area my novel covered, he wouldn't be able to give as good of notes as he would've wanted. Breath of fresh air for a rejection in the querying trenches :)

This is the nicest guy ever. Seriously. He's super fast in his replies and very kind. I queried a MG manuscript with him about a year ago, and I decided to try him again with a new project just because he impressed me in his response to the last one. He has been so generous and gracious, and his notes really helped me make my ms so much stronger!
