Just because you don't have rejections piling up in your inbox or mailbox, doesn't mean that there isn't a literary agent out there, somewhere, working diligently on your rejection letter. Here's a new one:
Thank you for giving me an opportunity to review your query. My client list is currently quite full, however, and I am therefore taking on very few new writers.
I wish you the best of luck in finding representation elsewhere.
Yours,
Mr. Iam Rejectingyou
I like the "my client list is too full" angle. It's like saying "God, there is nothing more I would rather do than take you on, but I just can't. Darn my bad luck!"
Speaking of luck...have you ever wanted to e-mail a literary agent back and write "Thanks for the well wishes, I clearly need ALL THE LUCK I CAN GET"? Just me? That's cool.
