Hoping Caitlin is the agent for me, since my novel has echos of The Last Of Us, like she states she is after!

Thank you for letting me read TITLE. I'm sorry, but I don't feel it's the best match for me at this time. I know querying can be tough, but please remember this isn't a reflection on your abilities—another agent will likely feel differently, so please keep going.

As you continue your querying process, here are some resources Emerald City Literary Agency think may be helpful:


[QueryTracker.net] (A database of agents, made by the same people who created Query Manager!)

[absolutewrite.com/forums/] (A discussion board, with a fantastic YA section as well as a "background check" section for agents, and a place to post your query for critique. You must have a thick skin, but it's an excellent resource!)

[https://queryshark.blogspot.com/] (This is an archive of posts from the late great Janet Reid. Highly recommend reading how she revised queries.)

[https://janefriedman.com/category/literary-agents/] (Jane Friedman's posts on the writing industry and, specifically here, literary agents.)

Best of luck,
Caitlin
