I applaud the 12 day turn around, but here's the thing: if an agent explicitly wants your genre (and your pitch and pages clearly illustrate the characteristics desired and you've already garnered a full request elsewhere so you're fairly confident your pitch is working) and the agent sends a form rejection saying "not right for my list" this is just a very wasted exercise for all.... #makeitmakesense
