EQ: 8/22/19 Paranormal Mystery. MC is woman in her mid-40's who is starting over in work as well as love; hoped it would be a good fit for an agent who was "dying to read women's second act stories."
ER: 9/6/19 Guess not! ;)

Dear AUTHOR,

Thank you so much for thinking of Nelson Literary Agency for your submission. Unfortunately, it's not quite what I'm looking for at the moment. I wish I could offer a more personalized response, but do know that we read every query letter and sample we receive. Even though your project is not right for us, it might be right for another agent, so don’t give up!

Good luck with all your publishing endeavors.

Sincerely,
Joanna MacKenzie
