I don't believe this was a real agent, but this is why I take issue with TenQueries. Imo, feedback should be given compassionately and effectively, and anonymous dunks—maybe even praise sometimes—are not it.
Politely, @un-manuscripts.bsky.social, this isn’t cool or cute. There’s no reason to publicly trash talk what comes into the slush pile, or anonymously hold other people’s work up for online ridicule. Please reconsider
