I had a different agent, but Metamorphosis was pretty suspect altogether. They asked authors to mock covers to books so it looks like they'd sold more. I was told I'd be submitted to Scholastic then after 6-7 months pushed towards independent pubs I could have approached without rep. Emails went months without response, I don't have any evidence my books was legitimately being sent out. When I notified them I wanted to part ways they tried to sneak in a confidentiality agreement and told me I'd be held to the rest of the year if I didn't sign it.

Same day rejection. This response is a bummer. I don't know how many more times my first pages can be rewritten.
The idea of your story sounded intriguing and I really appreciate your passion; however, the first few pages of your manuscript didn’t pull me in as much as I’d hoped so I’m going to have to pass. Thank you for considering me and I wish you luck in your querying journey.
Sincerely,
Caroline

The idea of your story really intrigued me and your writing was beautiful but I sadly don’t think I could do you and your story enough justice by representing you. I would highly suggest looking into agents who have represented work similar to yours in the past. I’m sorry to have to pass but I have no doubt that you and your story will find the right fit.
Kind of surprising because I only queried her because she liked my pitch…

ER: Very nice personalized rejection- my premise is intriguing but opening pages didn’t pull her in enough. Sad but thankful for this advice, as I now know what I need to focus on :)

I'm sorry, but your project doesn't sound like a fit for me at this time, and so I'll have to pass. I wish I could give individual feedback to each and every writer who queries me but it's simply not possible. Publishing is a very subjective industry so please continue to remember why you love to write and continue to work on your craft. I wish you the best of luck in your querying journey and thank you for considering me and sharing your work with me.
Sincerely,
Caroline
