Well, you are right of course, but then again all of the nice things said without an offer still amount to the same thing...no offer. LOL! YOu are right, just that this game can get a bit frustrating.
Here are a few of my typical rejections:
Many thanks for your submission. I have so enjoyed the premise of your work and believe it will easily find an audience.
As an agency, we’re excited by the growth we’ve experienced and look forward to continued advancement. Still, we’ve made the decision to slow down and will sign very few new clients in the coming months so that we may fully serve our authors.
Therefore, I wish you the best as you continue your search for representation. I do hope you'll keep in touch - I'd like to know how this piece goes.
The bad news is that vampires are so overdone right now that I can't
see taking this on as a project. But I really like your writing style,
and I think readers would connect with the real-world grounding of
your work. Are you working on anything else?
I cannot say anything negative about the agents. They have been very nice to me and have been very supportive and their kind words have kept me plugging away. It is just that, after a while, you feel like the jilted lover, "You are an awsome guy and you have so much to offer, but I can't ever date you." LOL. "It's not you, it's me."
