Dear Monika,

Thank you so much for sending me your query for THE MIRROR. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I must pass on this project; it isn't the right fit for my list at this time.

The publishing industry is subjective, and what doesn't work for me might be just what another agent is looking for. I wish you the best of luck in your writing as you work toward publication.
