Received a very prompt (1 week) rejection that explained in detail exactly what they did and did not like about my sample pages. Not sure whether it was written by Marissa or by her assistant Catherine, but I wish there were a way to thank them for taking the time and effort for that - overall it left me feeling hopeful and validated!

Adult fantasy rejected after a week by Catherine, Marisa’s assistant. It was a form rejection that made me think they didn’t read past the pitch. Very disappointing.

Nice rejection letter from literary intern Micah Brocker:
Thank you for submitting your query for ____ to Corvisiero Literary Agency and allowing us to consider it. Unfortunately, Marisa is not the best fit for this project at this time, so we are kindly stepping aside. Please know this is just one opinion in a crazy subjective industry and what isn’t right for one could be perfect for another.
I really enjoyed both the concept and clean writing here but found myself craving a bit more emotional interiority to connect the reader to the great tension and colorful characters upfront. I encourage you to continue honing this manuscript.
Due to the sheer number of queries that we receive, we are not always able to provide more specific feedback for every author. However, we highly recommend viewing–if you haven't already–BookEnds Literary Agency's Youtube channel for valuable advice on the querying process and the business of publishing from an agent's perspective: https://www.youtube.com/@BookEndsLiterary. Carly Watters, another literary agent, also offers great resources on her website.
As you know, this industry is incredibly subjective, and our response is solely one agency's opinion. We strongly encourage you to query other agents because one may love your story just the way it is! Thank you again for providing us the opportunity to review your writing, and we hope that you will keep us in mind for future projects
