Rejection #12: 18 December 2008

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

Dear Celia,
Thank you for your query. Agent K asked me to reply after he evaluated your submission

Dear Ms. Pleete:
Thanks so much for your email, but this project doesn't seem quite up my alley. It's fascinating, though, so I've taken the liberty of forwarding your letter to my fabulous colleague, Agent E - I'm sure she'll be in touch shortly if this seems like something she'd want to see. Thanks so much for writing, and best of luck!
All best wishes, Agent J
