A kind, form rejection. Listed every agent names so I guess that a no from one, no from all.

Probably a form letter, but very decent: complimenting my query and the concept and proposing that another agent will be interested.

ER 5/11/18 Form? I suppose, but pleasant.

Thank you so much for thinking of me for your project! I thought your query and sample were well-written with a strong concept but not quite what I’m looking for at the moment. Because I’m careful to keep my client list manageable, I’m being really selective about what I request. However, I think another agent is going to be intrigued enough to ask for the manuscript and I’m sorry I can’t offer a referral.

Good luck with all your publishing endeavors.

Sincerely,

Joanna MacKenzie
