"Thank you for your query. Unfortunately I must pass as I don't think I'm the best fit at this time. That said, publishing is a very subjective industry, and your project may very well be perfect for someone else. I wish you the best of luck in all your publishing endeavors, and I hope this project finds the perfect home soon."

I queried her again with a different novel, but saw that she closed and had skipped over mine in the queue while responding with requests or rejections after, so I assumed she may not be interested and withdrew.
