Q: 6/5/26, contemporary romance 96k
Full Request: 6/10/26
Form Rejection: 6/19/26

@annaceraldizin, I'm finding it's not necessarily genre or any one thing specifically with almost every agent I've queried. It's super subjective, and certain tropes, plot points, storylines just don't strike a certain agent's fancy. I queried agents who had my *exact* book outline on their MSWL and rejected it outright within days. And then other agents were a total longshot who requested more and it wasn't what they were looking for at all. I think it's too random to pin to just genre or even their wish list. Don't be too discouraged--none of this process is easy. We're all rooting for each other out here in the trenches!

Looks like pages and pages of rejections all on one day, June 12 including mine. Would be really helpful and much appreciated if these agents would take just a moment to update their genres as it appears they often want something specific (from the fulls requested) and they do a clean sweep of anything that doesn't fit without even looking at it. Disappointing
