Rejected 03/15/23 with a note:

Thank you for the opportunity to read your work. While there is so much potential here, I'm afraid it isn't the right fit for my list at this time. Don't be discouraged, your work has great merit and will hopefully find a home soon! Wishing you the best of luck moving forward and I do hope you will consider me should you find yourself querying in the future.

best wishes

Received a form rejection yesterday 6th Feb 2023
Adult contemporary mythological fantasy, 94,000 words

It's a quick turnaround, in my opinion, just a little over two weeks. And even though it's a pass, a quick response is always better because it is closure for me.
