I do not think some of these comments understand the sheer amount of queries this agent is getting and how insane their response time is. So for writers looking to query, know that you will likely not find another agent who will give you a clear answer as quickly as this agent does. And given the amount of people querying him because of how prominent his agency is, it is unreasonable to expect anything other than a pre-written rejection if he is going to reject you. This is not rude, it is how the traditional side of this industry works. I hope this helps someone. And remember, rejections don't mean your writing is bad, it just isn't right for that agent. This industry is subjective <3
