Thank you for giving me the opportunity to consider ******. While I appreciated the chance to read the query and sample pages, this one is not coming together for me. I'm sorry I can't be more specific. All passes are subjective at heart, so I encourage you to keep looking for your agent match.
Thank you for querying The Tobias Literary Agency and I wish you the best with this project.

Zoom pitch: 10/8/22: request for full
FQ: 1/25/23
FR: 2/6/23
Possibly slightly personalized rejection—they said the voice wasn't working for them.
This may be down to my not understanding exactly how to use QM, but it's a little odd to me that agents request fulls in in-person/zoom pitches, but don't actually provide any mechanism to send a full.

Form rejection 1/15/23
"I'm sorry to say the book isn't a fit for my list at this time, and so I must pass. I unfortunately didn't fall in love with the manuscript at much as I'd wanted to, so I'm sorry to say I don't have much feedback for you."
six months, sigh

Withdrew for revisions. Pitched to them virtually and was asked to send along pages.
Resubmitted: 12/19/22
Rejected: 1/3/22
Very kind and helpful rejection. They said my writing style was good but that the pacing in the beginning didn’t work for them. And were encouraging about submitting future works.
