Kind form response. Not for us, good luck, someone else will probably love it, etc.

Can someone tell me if it's necessary to have a book proposal when your project is non-fiction, and you have a completed manuscript? What is the response if an agent asks for a proposal? Is it an industry assumption that a completed manuscript, refers to either non-fiction and fiction? Thank you so much for the help!

Form rejection.

Thank you so much for contacting me about representation. Unfortunately, I don’t think your book would be quite right for my list at this time. Publishing is very subjective, of course, and I’m sure another agent will feel differently. Thank you for thinking of Writers House. I wish you all the best of luck with this project.

Best wishes,

Stacy
