Form rejection with some personalisation (?) at 38 days:
"Thank you for submitting your query for [...] to Spencerhill Associates for our consideration. Even though we found great qualities within your query and synopsis, we found ourselves wishing to see more upfront character interiority and forward momentum to hook the reader. For this reason, we feel we aren't the right champions for this project, and we will not be requesting more at this time.
Please know this is just one opinion in a subjective industry, and what doesn't work for one agency could be just what another agent is looking for.
We sincerely apologize for not having better news to share. Thank you again for providing us the opportunity to review your writing. We hope that you take this decline as an encouraging "no" that is simply a step on the path to the right "yes." We wish you the best of luck in finding an agent who will passionately represent your work!"
