6/9/2026: Polite rejection @ 105 days
Dear ____,
Sorry for the delay and thank you for sending your work. Unfortunately, I will have to pass on this manuscript as I wasn’t drawn in as I would’ve liked. I wish you the best of luck in your future writing endeavors.
Warm Regards,
Nicole Payne
Literary Agent at Confluence Literary Agency
