Thanks so much for contacting me about your book project, but I'm afraid I wouldn't be the best representative for it. Best of luck on your path to publication.

81k word thriller. 17 hours from query to rejection. I feel like I should have read the comments here first, especially @greatpoobah: "I checked out her receptivity to the Thriller/Suspense genre. Within 3 pages of submitted queries, not one request for a partial, much less a full, since 2008. Why she is listed as interested in this genre is beyond me. " Amen to that.

Her response was personalized, thanked me for the nudge, complimented the general premise of my query/novel, but the voice of the pages wasn't for her and so she doesn't feel like she'd be the best agent for it. She seems lovely!
