Queried today, (09/24/2025), got my answer just a few hours later (polite but automatic). It was a no, but at least, it was a quick no. Back to the query letter, and then next agent on the list. Better luck to you all!

I sent the query over the weekend and got the rejection first thing this morning. It's the same form rejection letter as few other people here: "Please note that mine is only one opinion in a very subjective industry, and I encourage you to continue querying to find the right match."
