Anyone know if we can query another agent at Sterling if we get rejected by one agent? They don't state on their website.

Greatly appreciate that she takes the time to respond.
Form rejection: Thank you so much for submitting your work to me. I'm grateful to have had the chance to consider. I'm sorry to say that I didn't connect with the premise as much as I was hoping to, and as much as I would need to in order to best champion your work.
I wish you all the best of luck as you continue your search for representation, and thank you again for sharing your work with me.
Best,
Lily

Thank you so much for sending me the manuscript for TITLE, I appreciate the opportunity to consider. You've clearly put a great deal of thought and time into your writing. I'm sorry to say, though, that the material does not seem to be a fit for my list at this time, and so I must pass.
I wish you all the best of luck in finding other representation!
Best,
Lily
