Nudge due to offer of rep: 01/23/26
Rejection on the same day, but a beautiful one:
Congratulations on your offer of representation, and thank you so much for letting me know. I truly appreciate the opportunity to consider your work.
You are a wonderful writer, and from what I've read of XXX, it is a terrific story. The project is not the right fit for my list at this time, and so I am going to step aside.
However, I am delighted to hear you've found representation, and I wish you the very best of luck as you move forward in your writing career!
