The First Rejection

it's official - i am now a rejected author. not dejected... yet. i know that most of my submissions will be rejected without any notice - if i don't hear back in 4 weeks it's a no thank you. but - i actually got a polite decline. It's all part of it, right?

Dear Author,

Many thanks for your email regarding your manuscript, which I am declining with my regrets.

Given the demands of running a boutique agency and continuing to best represent our current clients, we must make difficult decisions every day regarding what new projects we can sign.  I appreciate your thinking of "this agency", and wish you the best of luck in your search for representation.

Best,
