Fastest form rejection ever, 1 hour later:

Many thanks for your note. This material doesn't seem quite right for us, but I'm sure other agents will feel differently. We wish you the best of luck elsewhere and many thanks again for the opportunity to read your work.

Yours sincerely
John Hawkins & Associates

I assume this was an automatic/AI rejection.

1/18 - Email query - 86K historical mystery
1/20 - Polite rejection - same as other members: "While this sounds like a strong project, I'm afraid it doesn't strike me as a likely fit with me and my particular editorial contacts."
Thankful that she replied.

EQ 01/17/2023 - bounced back as undeliverable.

This is the message I keep getting:

Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups:

anniehawk@aol.com
Your message couldn't be delivered. Despite repeated attempts to contact the recipient's email system it didn't respond.

Contact the recipient by some other means (by phone, for example) and ask them to tell their email admin that it appears that their email system isn't accepting connection requests from your email system. Give them the error details shown below. It's likely that the recipient's email admin is the only one who can fix this problem.

Appreciate the rapid response. Form email.

Thank you for thinking of me with your query for TEXIAN BY CHOICE. While this sounds like a strong project, I'm afraid it doesn't strike me as a likely fit with me and my particular editorial contacts. I wish you well in finding the right agent for your work.

Responded 1 day after receiving my query, actually more like 10 hours. A rejection form letter, the same one as those below. I doubt very much she or her staff read any part of it.
