A week on from sending my novel out to an agent I get my first rejection. Not unsurprising really, considering it was the first attempt but also not really positive or negative in either way…
Dear Thomas,
Many thanks for sending us this proposal, which I read with interest. I considered it carefully but Iâm afraid on balance it just doesnât quite grab my imagination in the way that it must for me to offer to represent you. So I must follow my instinct and pass on this occasion. Iâm sorry to be so disappointing, but thanks for thinking of us. Of course this is a totally subjective judgement, so do try other agents and I wish you every success.
Kind regards
