Very gracious, complimentary step-aside (she noted that the delay in responding was indeed due to the general upside-down nature of the world this year, as I'd suspected). Jamie seems like an absolute dream to work with, so I wish everyone querying her the very best of luck!
Hi (My first name),,
Thank you for reaching out about this project. The premise is intriguing, but I’m sorry to say that I’m going to step aside. Unfortunately, I'm taking on very few new projects right now, and I don't feel that I could give this the attention it deserves. Please know that the decision is not a reflection of the merit of your work. You’re a talented writer and your project deserves to be in the right hands. I wish you the best of luck with it.
Sincerely,
Jamie Chambliss

And, yes, folks, this is a form, albeit a very nice one, and I appreciated the positive approach:

RQ 10/30/19 - Lovely letter about my writing and how she thinks I'll get an agent "in a heartbeat." Ah, if only that were true. She's handling too much memoir at the moment. My timing = not so good.
