When an agent raves about your first 30 pages, asks for a full, reads and then rejects. What is usually the reason for that? I understand being rejected right away in the slush pile, but what are usually the reasons for a rejection after requesting material? Not judging, just perplexed.

It does not mean they are ‘right’ in their opinion, everyone is different, but it takes guts and it’s always great (for me anyway) to hear what someone thinks of something I’ve put so much time and energy into, even if that response isn’t my ideal. So thank you, agents.

After a series of my own rejections, this was a timely reminder of the importance of giving space to the disappointment and then moving forward. Thank you!
