Thank you so much for allowing me to read your work, but I am going to pass at this time. Unfortunately, the sample pages didn't grab me as much as I'd hoped, as I felt the pacing was too slow to keep me engaged in the storyline. Due to this, I don't believe I'm the right agent to champion this piece. Thank you for considering me for your work, and I wish you luck in your writing future.

Personalized rejection 01-05-23 advising me that my word count is too high (which I figured but still appreciate her saying, since she's the first agent to confirm this for me)

Rejected in less than 24 hours, form rejection saying the word count was too high. Based on her previous full reqs, I would only submit if you have something <100k regardless of genre.

"Thank you so much for your query, but I am going to pass at this time. Unfortunately, while I was intrigued by the concept, the voice of the sample pages didn't grab me as much as I'd hoped. I'm sadly not very keen on third person present tense and, due to this, I don't believe I'm the right agent to champion this piece. Thank you for considering me for your work, and I wish you luck in your writing future.

The tense is something that can be changed with about an hour's worth of line edits, but no matter. Onward.
