FORM: Thank you so much for thinking of Dan for your book. I’ve shared your submission with Dan, and I’m sorry to say that the query you sent didn’t quite elicit the level of excitement that needs to be present for us to be able to do right by your work.

This is a hard business, and our saying no is, I’m sure, just one of many hard proofs of that fact. But keep in mind that this is also a subjective business: lots of people love things we don’t and vice versa. All this really means is that it’s not right for us.

Good luck and best wishes.

Lit-Fic query rejection after 71 days.

Dear [my name]:
Dear Jerry,

Thank you very much for sending your query to Dan Conaway. He regrets that his busy schedule does not allow for a personal response and he has asked me to respond on his behalf.

He appreciated the opportunity to see your submission, but unfortunately, he is unable to offer you representation at this time. Due to the enormous number of submissions we receive here at Writers House, and an already crowded client list, we are forced to be extremely selective when considering new clients.

Please remember that this is only one opinion in a highly subjective business and another agency may feel differently. Good luck finding representation, and thank you for thinking of Writers House.

Sincerely,
Andrea

I sent a partial through a referral on June 3, just followed up as I'd received no reply. Fingers crossed, though I'm guessing it's a no.
Update: he allowed me to re-send, with updated chapters.
