Dear [AUTHOR NAME],
Thank you for sharing [TITLE] with me. To be a literary agent is to devote one’s life to craft with a passion bordering on obsession. My days are spent sifting through reams of disappointment, buoyed only by the hope that—once in a rare while—a query will arrive in which every element of my wish list aligns. When that happens, it’s like hearing a bell resonate not just in the mind, but in the soul. I live for those moments. They can be transcendent. Spiritual, even.
Unfortunately, your query represented the precise opposite of that experience. I rejected it with record-breaking efficiency and immediately took the remainder of the afternoon off to recover. I have since booked an emergency session with my therapist to process the emotional damage caused by encountering a submission so thoroughly incompatible with hope, joy, or the continued viability of my profession. I wish you the very best of luck—far away from my inbox."
Just kidding...I received a lovely form rejection. It's refreshing to have an agent be responsive, even if it is a rejection.
Dear [AUTHOR NAME],
Thank you for sharing [TITLE] with me. Unfortunately, I did not connect with the story as much as I had hoped and have decided to pass on this project.
While I know this is not the news you were looking for, I truly appreciated the opportunity to review your work. I wish you the best of luck in finding the right agent to champion your writing.
Best regards,

Thank you for sending me [TITLE]. Unfortunately, I've decided to pass. You've created a very cool world with the tense political maneuvering. I do think the pacing could be tightened (trim some of the politics) because I was ready for a juicy battle long before [MAIN CHARACTER] officially declared war.
I wish you the very best with your agent search.
Kind regards,
Such a shame! But it's a subjective industry. Thank you, Tricia, for the chance!
