"Dear xx,
Thank you so much for your interest in representation by Martin Literary Management. I regret that we’re 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 interests. 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.
Best wishes,
Lindsay Guzzardo"
