Full request 12/3/24
Frankly shocked by this one. I've been rejected by five other agents at Writers House, all of whom were actively seeking horror, but I had in my notes that Dan was "only interested in horror if the writing's great". It just goes to show that YOU NEVER KNOW. Query widely, even if the agent doesn't seem like the perfect fit. All of my full requests have been by agents who only have a passing interest in my genre.
108k adult upmarket horror
Update: rejection on 1/14/25. Waiting to hear if there’s interest in an R&R.

Another form rejection, that meant nothing, sent by his assistant. Most likely, he never even saw what I wrote. He represents my line of fiction but rejected my work anyway.

I received a kind rejection letter from the agent's Teammate. Mystery (with faith, romance, humor as well) ~50K
