@Bollingerjones
Absolutely understand that, and if everything you said was accurate, I'd completely agree. However, my critique of them giving critiques without actually reading the project is not professional still stands. And I don't mean not reading the entire book, I mean not even reading the query at all or the submitted paltry five pages. If there was zero interest without even reading it, then it should just say that they aren't interested. But copying and pasting the same critique to everyone without it even applying to their writings because they didn't read it, is just simply disingenuous.
I'm very aware of basically every single reputable literary agency and I have never once seen any of them only request three pages. That would be a pretty asinine thing to do, honestly. You might as well just ask for the cover at that point because it truly is not possible to have proper judgment of a story or writing from that few amount of pages. After the countless books I've read, one thing I've definitely learned is that my judgment of a book in the first five pages is very different from my judgment at the end, or even after a couple of chapters. The same thing with movies and music. You wouldn't listen to five seconds of a song or watch five minutes of a movie and make a judgment based on that.
I appreciate the insight, I really do. But I've gotten very familiar with this business over time and have never left a comment about any agency despite dealing with many. But this one is without a doubt the most unprofessional one I've seen, and its worth giving a heads up to others.
