We have received and considered your submission. Unfortunately, we must be extremely selective in what we take on, and do not think we are the right agent for your work.
Please forgive the form letter — it is necessary given the large volume of submissions we receive. Thank you for thinking of our agency, and we wish you the best with your work.

We will see. Probably another rejection coming soon in 5 months. It was improved upon after a R&R from another agent, so maybe that will change things, but probably not!
