12/14/22 Because there are so many agents that don't respond to their slush piles at all, I was grateful to at least receive a form letter rejection regarding my memoir (after 82 days, with the same verbiage hsdonnelly stated in a previous comment).

Rej 2022-06-27 "sorry to report to you that we will not ask to consider the work for representation . . . we've learned to trust our instincts about whether there would be a good fit between a particular writer and us. We certainly recognize that we might well be passing up a good opportunity."
Maybe a form rejection. But sounds like at least they were not quibbling about the writing.
Rejection came 3 weeks after the "six weeks" they had indicated I would hear from them. So that is interesting.

It appears that Robin Straus has acquired the Wallace Literary Agency, and that it's Wallace that's no longer considering new clients.
