I thought it was a customized letter, but after reviewing the comments, sounds like it was a form letter. I wondering if she has a couple since there's also clearly a letter for word count reduction.

Thank you so much for letting me review X, but I’m going to decline at this time. Unfortunately, your beginning just isn't pulling me in the way I had hoped. I know you've put a lot of time and effort into your project. Take heart: the publishing industry is very subjective, so what may not work for me could be just what another agency is looking for. I strongly encourage you to continue your pursuit of publication.

In your search for the perfect agent you may want to check out Writers Digest Guide to Literary Agents blog. I have found it to be a great resource for finding new agents that are looking to build their lists.

I also encourage writers to gather beta readers and critique partners to help hone your craft; their suggestions can be invaluable.

Thank you for considering me for your manuscript and I wish you great success with your writing career. I hope you'll consider me again for your next work of art.

I stepped aside on this, but Cortney was amazingly knowledgeable for being a "new" agent. She was super kind and made this a tough decision. If you get to work with her, count yourself lucky, because she's wonderful!
