MG submitted and next day received the same response as below:

Given my present workload, I would not be able to give your manuscript the time and attention it deserves.

I wish you well with another agent.

All the best,

Bob

Asked for the full manuscript to be sent along with the query then responded not a full minute after the query was sent saying that he doesn't think he can give my work the attention it deserves.

Replied in 2 minutes saying his workload doesn't permit the attention a new manuscript requires.

I submitted my YA Fantasy MS sample via another agent I knew at D4EO. Bob requested a full MS. Some days later he responded with comments from his "trusted reader." After revisions, Bob agreed to represent me. Signed the agreement on Sept. 2, 2025. A year later we're still waiting for responses from 12 of 19 editors Bob pitched.

I believe the responses about workload. It takes Bob a while to respond to my emails.
