3/16/23 - Notified they rec'd query.
3/20/23 - She claimed she didn't know how she could sell a 39K word MG novel. My research indicates word counts for MG range between 20K & 50K and that Charlotte's Web was 32K.

Rejected primarily based on word count...
Since it's a Graphic Novel I just estimated 20,000 words but I was quite wrong - my new estimation is now closer to 35,000 words. Oops!

@TCRoss & @KMish, I too thought this was a personalized rejection, then saw your comments. Kudos to Hannah for a more polite form letter than many:
Dear ___,
Thank you for sending me your query! Unfortunately, after careful consideration, I have decided that it's not a great fit for me at this time. While I thought your writing was very strong in ________, I ultimately struggled to fall in love with your premise. There are a lot of common elements within your story and didn't find there to be a fresh enough spin here that would make this sellable in comparison to everything else on the shelf. I am sorry I am not emailing with better news and no doubt another agent will feel differently. I wish you all the very best luck finding a great home and enthusiastic champion for your work. Thank you for considering me and best of luck with your future queries!

After 6 days, I received the nicest, most personal rejection so far. I felt like she really wanted to get on board but just couldn't. I can only hope at least one other agent out there will champion my novel ... before I run out of agents. :-/
I do appreciate the feedback, though. She will be a great agent for someone to work with, I'm sure.
Suspense novel, 120,000 words
Update: It's the same as one of the rejections already posted. So, it was a form, but a nice one, at least.

Thanks, @potatochip, that's helpful. Good luck with your partial!

110 days and I got a personalized form rejection. :) First one to say I had strong writing and then turn me down for not enough uniqueness. I'm fine with that. 100k YA F
Editing: After seeing KMish's response: AHHH It's ALL a form letter. I got the exact same wording. :D I guess she has several form letters depending on the submission. Still, it was nice.

I sent my form query almost 100 days ago now with no response. Should I consider that a pass? I see she usually responds to everything, whether it's a rejection or a request. Should I nudge and if so, how?
Update - I received the best personalized rejection from her on 11/22. It was the boost I needed to keep going in my query journey when I was ready to give up. This is fixable!
Dear Kami,
Thank you for sending me your query! Unfortunately, after careful consideration, I have decided that it's not a great fit for me at this time. While I thought your writing was very strong in BLOOD AND THUNDER, I ultimately struggled to fall in love with your premise. There are a lot of common elements within your story and didn't find there to be a fresh enough spin here that would make this sellable in comparison to everything else on the shelf. I am sorry I am not emailing with better news and no doubt another agent will feel differently. I wish you all the very best luck finding a great home and enthusiastic champion for your work. Thank you for considering me and best of luck with your future queries!
All my best,
Hannah Andrade

Thought it was personalized until I read the other comments here.
