We are happy to assure you that this is no reflection on the quality of your writing. But Gregory and Company specifically do not represent SF/fantasy/horror, or anything with a paranormal or supernatural element. In fact, we have recently decided to concentrate solely on crime, which is our preferred area of expertise. So I’m afraid we are unable to help you.

This was my first ever submission and I received a reply after two weeks, thanking me for my material which was 'read and considered'. They apologised for disappointing me and had some encouraging words for the future. All in all, a much more satisfactory result than I'd been expecting

Thank you for sending us this material, which we have now read and considered, but I’m sorry to say that your novel is not something that this agency could feel 100% confident of being able to handle successfully.
However, there are as many opinions as there are agents and publishers, so we wish you all success in finding suitable representation elsewhere.
We also wish you good health during this strange time for us all.

There is a lot in it to like and praise, and it's lively and ambitious; certainly [another] agent and publisher would be better placed than we are to take it on and do well with it, and we would be delighted for you if that proved to be the case.
