"Thank you for writing to us. We have considered your proposal carefully and I am afraid that it is not going to be one for us.
I am sorry not to be writing with better news; of the thousands of submissions we receive annually, we do, in fact, only request a handful of full manuscripts.
I wish you luck with finding an agent elsewhere."

I think my rejection was better than some others in the sense there was no ad or suggestion to work with an editor. But it was a form rejection and also read by their "children's submissions team" so not sure who read the novel (assistants, readers, agent?)... regardless it's a rejection nonetheless.

Kind regards, The children's submissions team

Formal rejection similar to the ones mentioned below with an ad for (I assume) one of their writers’ books. Which, to be honest, feels a little insensitive. At least, no links to editing services

Links, "If you would like professional advice on your manuscript, there are many reputable companies . . ."

Yeah, but the book has been given a pretty thorough edit by a professional editor. So I don't know if I'd get much value for my money. But maybe I should have written a completely different novel. Who knows?

Does not accept picture books despite them coming up on the query tracker as a picture book agent.

Rejection 05/19, containing encouragement to resubmit another project, but sounds like a form rejection.

Form rejection with recommendations for things that had already been discussed in query letter - not convinced that submission was actually read.

did anyone have to wait longer than a week for a response? mine is at nearly 3 weeks now. i just wondered why they give themselves an extremely tight response time compared to other agencies if it’s not the case.

thanks for the reply @reginafellangy

@tinawc - I did, it was four weeks for me. Had a personalised rejection detailing reasons. (Very helpful and encouraging!) I think with the Easter weekend and London Book Fair, they have been a bit delayed.

A generic rejection after 3 days of submitting inc links to services.

Agents are not currently the right fit for SFF. I saw some comments mentioning that the form rejection includes links to services, but I did not receive this. Just a brief and kind note from the reader wishing me the best.

Submission wasn't to Eve specifically (as not possible), but to the agency in general. Received nice feedback from a reader - it was clear she'd read the pages and she suggested some things to potentially work on. A previous submission to this agency led to them urging me to submit other projects in future, so always had a positive experience with them! They're also always really quick with responses.
