The compliment really helped boost my mood on querying -- and it indicates my current WIP may be a good fit if I don't secure rep before it's finished.
Dear Austin,
It was terrific to meet you at StokerCon. Thanks for sending along this query for THE DARK WELL so I could look at your opening pages. Sadly, I won't be requesting the full manuscript. I just want to highlight that I see a ton of talent on the page so that is not an issue. For me, this story is just leaning a tad too genre for what I'm taking on right now as I want to be able to submit to both SF/F houses and regular imprints. Don't give up as this business is so subjective and another agent might see it as the perfect fit and send you a request. I’m sorry I can’t offer a referral.
Stay tough out there. Keep writing!
Sincerely,
Kristin Nelson
