A strange interaction with him. I met Paul during a pitch event we got along well, and he asked to see the manuscript - but after I did a minor edit. I did the edit, and then less than a month later I emailed him reminding him of our meeting, and hoping to send in the manuscript. I got no response. I followed up 2 more times (leaving respectful time in between emails) and still have heard nothing in 4 months. I understand that he's not for everyone, he definitely seems to have a brusque manner, but I enjoy a more straightforward approach as he has, and I think we'd be a good match. He is of the age (as am I) where "ghosting" isn't really a thing. I just don't understand why he would express enthusiasm for the manuscript during the pitch event, only to go silent after.

"Not for me-thanks anyway."
That's his rejection email.

I had a call with this agent. We have mutual connections on LinkedIn, and I reached out. While I appreciate that he took the time to briefly chat, it was very clear that this was not the agent for me. Though he knew almost nothing about my project, he insisted it was a different genre than what I was saying, and when I questioned him about it, he said to send him my manuscript. Over a week later, he called me, didn't remember that I sent him the manuscript so he didn't read it, but then again insisted it was a different genre than what I was telling him. Very strange interaction and not the person for me.

I have to chime in with the majority of the other responses here. Five words, without a salutation or a signature block is... quite... rude... when a form letter is so very easy to create.
I do appreciate it over a CNR, to some degree, but it's abrasive and speaks to a personality type that is *clearly* not a match for me.
