Dear Julianne,
Thank you for considering The Seymour Agency -- and me -- to represent your work. I truly appreciate the time you took to find and query me. I'm not the right agent to represent this, so I'm passing. I wish you success in finding representation with an agent who will best represent you and your work. Again, thank you for allowing me the opportunity to review your material.
Best,
Marisa

*Note: I watched an interview with Marisa. She said that last year (2021) she received over 500 queries. Of those, she requested the full manuscript of 33, and only signed 6 clients. And she is actively looking for clients so the numbers are usually more grim with better established agents. Good luck all! It's a tough game we're playing!

I sent a nudge today because I'm querying my next book and didn't want to send to a Seymour agent with an outstanding full. Marisa responded to let me know that Maggie left the agency in August and then gave me a form rejection. I would honestly be surprised in Marisa saw my query or MS at all -- it's not a genre that she appears to represent at all.
