Rejection #4

I love how they always put that "don't take this as a comment on your writing ability." It's reassuring.


Kristopher Lewis [10:15 PM]:
Oh GOODY!
Kristopher Lewis [10:16 PM]:
Now THAT's service!
Amber Marshall [10:16 PM]:
?
Kristopher Lewis [10:16 PM]:
Dear Amber and Kristopher,
Thank you for querying me. Unfortunately I am going to have to pass at this time.
Please don't take this rejection as a comment on your writing ability, because it isn't intended
to be one. I'm sure another agent will feel differently.
Best of luck to you with the submission process.

Amber Marshall [10:16 PM]:
man that was quick
Kristopher Lewis [10:16 PM]:
45 minute turn around.

Kristopher Lewis [10:17 PM]:
Hey, once again, it didn't sound like a form letter, so I'm taking that as a good sign.
Amber Marshall [10:18 PM]:
nice
Kristopher Lewis [10:18 PM]:
yeah, it's a disappointing, but "I'm sure another agent will feel differently." is very promising.
Amber Marshall [10:19 PM]:
It's funny; it's not all that disappointing.
Amber Marshall [10:19 PM]:
I figure eventually we'll hit and in the meantime it's kinda rolling off
Kristopher Lewis [10:19 PM]:
No, that's two non-forms in a row
Kristopher Lewis [10:20 PM]:
and while a non-form is a rejection, it also tells me that our query is good, just not for person X.
Amber Marshall [10:20 PM]:
:) I hope so!
Kristopher Lewis [10:21 PM]:
If an agent doesn't like your writing, they aren't inclined to say, "I'm sure another agent will feel differently."
