Thank you so much for your submission. Unfortunately I don't feel I'm the appropriate agent to represent your work as the project just isn't right for me.

I'm sure another agent will feel differently, and with the vast array of opinions in the industry, I wish you the best in finding the right representation.

Thanks again for thinking of me.

She seems to request quite a few, and I know her list for YA is tight right now, but I'm still quite happy!
