I hate to say this is going to be a pass as __________ does not sound like a fit for me at this time.
Thank you for considering The Tobias Literary Agency, and please do stay the querying course as this industry is highly subjective. After all, Marlon James's JOHN CROW'S DEVIL was rejected 78 times before being published, and now Marlon has a Man Booker Prize for A BRIEF HISTORY OF SEVEN KILLINGS.
Best of luck with your future queries,

Autoresponse: Thank you for your query. Please know I truly appreciate your consideration. If I decide to pass on you query you can expect a turnaround of a week. However, if I am interested it may be several weeks. Please do not nudge unless I have already responded to your query as the more time I spend on nudges the less time I spend on reading.

Please note that a pass is completely subjective and not a comment on your writing ability or your work's marketability. Please continue to query and don't let anyone convince you otherwise. Including me. After all, H.P. Lovecraft received 200 rejections before his first publication.
