EQ 7/31/17 - 67k word high concept science thriller
ER 8/1/17 - Passed

Thank you for writing to me about this project.

I'm sorry this is a pass for me.

Right now my list is very full, and I'm fortunate that business is very good so I have to pass on projects that are not only good and publishable but ones I really like. That's a good problem for me, but it just stinks from the writer's viewpoint, yes indeed it does.

I strongly encourage you to query widely. Other agents have more room on their lists and are able to take on more than I can.

Please think of this as redirection to another agent, not rejection.

Very best wishes to you!

For smbishop: On her Query Letter FAQs page, Janet says:

5. Can I query more than one person at New Leaf Literary?
Yes. Query one agent at a time.

4/22/17 a pass with detailed personalized feedback. She's a great agent, and it's a compliment to get a full request from the query shark. Sad it didn't work, but no regrets.

Very thorough and thoughtful rejection. She liked the writing but didn't get into my specific kind of story. Had some helpful tips and was overall very, very nice about it. Loved that! Viva la sharque!
