Form rejection copy below:

"Thank you so much for sharing with this with me, and for your patience and kindness. I know it’s been an absurdly long amount of time, and wish I knew best how to show you that the wait isn’t personal, just overwhelm.

Still, I know our industry is full of waiting, and I'm sorry to be a part of that.

As you know, for agents, it's almost a matter of falling in love--there's a mysterious aspect to the process that's difficult to describe. Though I can see a lot of good qualities here and enjoyed reading, I'm afraid I'm not having that "Yes, this is for me!" feeling--something necessary to do well by a work and its author. So, for that reason, I'm going to bow out. I hope you find someone who feels this way, and soon, and you find your perfect fit.

My apologies if you've already found your perfect publishing home.

Please know I'm wishing you the best, and I’m sorry our industry is so much waiting."
