Got this e-mail a few minutes ago from an agent I queried in November:
Hi Kyle,
Thank you so much for giving me a chance to see your work.
Ive now had a chance to review your query and Im sorry to say I dont feel Im connecting wholeheartedly with your writing, despite its many charms. So at this time, I feel it best to step aside.
Please know that this is a very subjective business and that tastes range widely among agents. Someone else may feel very differently and you deserve someone who is passionate about your work and is confident about their ability to position it.
I truly appreciate the look and wish you nothing but the best of luck with your future endeavors.
Sincerely, Alexandra
Oh well, at least she was nice. On to the next one!
Keep plugging! I'm waiting for my third rejection. Been 20 days or so with no response yet. I could send it out to more people but if my query letter isn't making it past them, I wanna know so I can go ahead and adjust that first
