Q: 3/8/25
Kind form rejection 4/25/25
"I have reviewed your query for [] and found that it is not a perfect fit for me at this time. Unfortunately, I will have to pass.
Do not be discouraged! Your work is meaningful and someone out there is waiting for it. Although I am not giving specific feedback on queries at this time, the largest reason I turn down work is simply because it does not fit with the list I already have. This often means I have the misfortune of rejecting brilliant work.
Thank you for considering me and best of luck with your future queries."

Website says she doesn't want anything too "traumatic." (Suicide, sexual violence...) just a heads-up.
