Rejected 7/1/25
Thank you so much for querying BookEnds and for giving me the opportunity to review ******. I did read your letter and am going to pass on looking at further material.
I'm sorry I don't have better news. I am lucky to have a full and active client list and for that reason, I've become very particular about taking on new clients. This is by no means a criticism of your work. It's quite possible you'll find someone else who feels differently. I encourage you to keep querying and even consider other BookEnds agents for your work.

I may query other Bookends agents but other than that, I'm done querying - again. I've queried before. It's back to self publishing for me. Querying is time consuming and the odds of getting an agent and traditionally published are very low. I will continue to use my time taking the various steps needed to self publish.
