Form rejection: 04/17/2026 (Most rejections don't phase me as this is such a subjective industry, but since Goldblatt was in my top ten I was slightly disappointed by this one. Reminding myself today that rejection is redirection and what is meant for me will be for me. Just wanted to share in case anyone else was feeling the querying blues. (Also, same form as @whoisbellaboo1))
YA Paranormal Romance 87,777 words

I'm sorry, but your project does not sound like a fit for me at this time, and so I will have to pass. Thank you for considering me and I wish you all the best in finding a great home for your work.
Sincerely,
