Queried: November 4, 2025
Semi-personalised form pass: November 8, 2025
Looking through the comments, it seems like this is one of several more specific form passes that Gabriella gives. While I can't change my writing style, it's still nice to know why she passed on my project (and that she liked the premise).
Dear [name],
Thank you for the opportunity to read [NOVEL], which I have carefully considered but decided to decline. Please keep in mind that this is a very subjective field and while I found the premise of your novel very interesting, I wasn't as captivated as I needed to be at the line level. I'm sure another agent will feel differently and I hope this manuscript finds its way to someone who is ready to more passionately advocate for it soon.
Sincerely,
Gabriella

I know this could turn into a rejection, but I just want to say that receiving this partial is SUPER exciting! This is the fourth project I've queried this agent for and the first time I've gotten a request. It's a victory either way, and I'm so proud! Keep your heads up, writers!
