Rejection #13: 22 December 2008

Dear Ms. Pleete,
Thank you for your query regarding THE MAD VORTEX. I love the website, but I don't have the impression that your site is popular enough to expect it to drive book sales in the same way that say, PostSecret.blogspot.com or StuffWhitePeopleLike.com managed to fuel sales. And it's too high-concept to appeal to a particular category buyer (like foodies, armchair travelers, or gardeners, just as examples). I'm sorry I'm not seeing this one, but I hope another agent will have the vision to help you make this a success.
Sincerely,
Agent Awesome
Awesome and Company

Dear Author,
We apologize for the necessity of having to send a form letter to you. The number of submissions received by the agency is very large, so it is not possible to write a personal response to each query letter we receive. Rather than hold you back in your search for the best representation for your book, we think it is better to let you know quickly that we’re not the right agency for your work. We wish you luck in finding a good home for your book.
Sincerely,
Agent Y

Dear Celia,
Thank you for querying Dude & Dude Literary Associates about your book project.
We have carefully evaluated your materials and regrettably, your project is not a right fit for our agency. We currently have a very full clientele and must be highly selective about the new projects we pursue.
Thank you again for thinking of us. Please know that we wish you much success in all of your writing and publishing endeavors.
Sincerely yours,
Dude & Dude Literary Associates
