Originally queried Michelle Brower but after notifying her with an offer of rep, my query was passed to Danya who requested the full.
Danya sent me the nicest rejection email on the full, with such wonderful praise, but ultimately passed as it was a little too upmarket for her list. She seems like a wonderful agent to work with, and a talented writer too.

I was planning on querying Danya, but she explicitly doesn't want WW2 historical and I'm left a little unsure since my book is set during WW2, but it's more of a backdrop with minor influence on plot and character than what I would consider "WWII Historical" ?
