Q: 11/12/25
R: 11/13/25--Appreciate the quick turnaround -- my first rejection
Thank you so much for sending me the material for XXX. The work is nicely done, but I don't have the passion that you need in an agent for their work to be done well. Fortunately, this is a subjective business and I expect that you'll find an agent who has no reservations.
And I want to note that if I’m not going to represent their work, people often ask me to recommend other agents. Unfortunately, I can’t be helpful, as I don’t track other agents' lists.
I wish you the best,
