is this a form rejection
ok, i am a newbie. i sent off 3 queries for a novel i wrote. i was not expecting much, as i wrote it more to entertain myself then to publish. i picked 3 top agents on a whim. 2 asked to see it; 1 said no. of the 2 who read it, both were rejections. the 1st had reasons why they liked it, but reasons why they did not. the second came from trident, and was more vague.
just curious if this is a standard rejection, or if the sentence about enjoying it means the agent actually liked it (aka, another agent at another agency might like it enough to take it.)
thanks
Dear,
Thank you for sending me X. I enjoyed your manuscript, but after careful consideration, I don't feel like I’m the right agent for your book. Due to the competitive marketplace, it’s important to find someone who is totally enthusiastic about your work. Therefore, I am unable to offer literary representation at this time.
With this in mind, I would recommend that you contact the Association of Author’s Representatives, which has a website at
www.aar-online.org. Their address is P.O. Box 237201, Ansonia Station, New York, NY 10023. The Association of Authors’ Representatives is a professional organization that could help you to find an agent.
I wish you all success in finding representation and publication for this material.
Best wishes.
Sincerely,
