Q: 08/01/2026 psychological/paranormal thriller- 66K
R: 08/15/2026 Lovely email.

Thank you for sharing *********** with me. I regret that I'm unable to take you on as a client at this time. I receive hundreds of queries each month and, as such, must turn down many projects that I believe have commercial potential.

Please know I personally read each query, and that some of these rejections are based strictly on the subject matter, which may not be the right fit for my current list. I have worked with many authors whose careers have taken unexpected paths before finding the right opportunity for their work. There are many ways to build a successful writing career, and I wish you every success as you continue writing and pursuing the path that's right for you.

FR: 7/10/2026 - Everything a rejection should be: personal, polite, encouraging, and prompt.

Thank you for sharing xxxxxxx with me. I regret that I'm unable to take you on as a client at this time. I receive hundreds of queries a month and as such must turn down many projects that might have great commercial potential.

Please know I personally read each query and that some of these rejections are based strictly on the subject of material, which may not be an appropriate fit for my current list. I have worked with many clients who endured long terms of rejection before they found the winning combination for themselves. They refused to give up, as I hope you will continue to do. Thank you again, and I wish you all the best in your publishing journey.
