While this appears to be a form letter. I do appreciate the quick response.

Email Query: 03/03/2026
Rejection: 03/10/2026

Thank you so much for contacting Dan about representation. Unfortunately, he doesn’t feel that your book would be quite right for his list at this time. Publishing is very subjective, of course, and I’m sure another agent will feel differently. Thank you for thinking of Writers House. We wish you all the best of luck with this project.

Very best,
Sydnee
