When an agent/agency is open to "women's fiction, fantasy, romance, and magical realism", but your MS (which fits into most of those categories) is rejected...
Do agents even know what they want? And why is it industry etiquette to say we've been rejected? That seems unnecessarily cruel.
Anyway, 2 rejections today (from queries I submitted yesterday), and the day's still young. I still have 11 queries out there. Hopefully I'll get a bite.
