12/2/2025: Polite rejection
Dear _____,
Thank you for considering me as a potential representative for [TITLE]. I sincerely appreciate the effort you put into researching and reaching out to me. However, due to an increased workload, I have found it necessary to be highly selective when taking on new projects. This often means that I must decline not because of the quality of the writing, but because I am specifically seeking something particular at the moment.
At this time, [TITLE] isn't the right fit for my current list, but that's more about my specific needs than the merit of your work.
I want to encourage you to continue your search for representation, as I believe there is an agent out there who will be the perfect fit for you and your work. I genuinely wish you success in finding that ideal representation. Once again, thank you for allowing me to review your material.
