Thank you for your recent e-mail. I regret to say that I don't feel that I'm the most appropriate agent for your work.
However, opinions vary considerably in this business, and I wish you the best of luck in your search for representation.
Best wishes
We knew that there would be some considerable political bias in this industry as it is largely dominated by liberal arts majors, trained through their college years to embrace Marcusean group mentality and reject the celebration of the individual. I was still surprised that our first rejection notice actually highlighted this bias.
Clearly, it was our opinion here that warranted the stamp of death. At least he admitted to what we'd most likely be thinking had it gone unmentioned- that political bias is a huge factor for landing book representation for first time writers.
Regardless, we appreciated this agent's personalized response. Its much better than receiving some pre-canned rejection response
