"I truly appreciate you sharing your work with me. I'm sorry to say that the project isn't the best match for me right now. I understand the querying process is arduous, so please know that just because I don't plan to pursue right now, that doesn't have a bearing on your talent as a writer or the project as a whole. Other agents will most likely feel differently.

As you continue your querying process, Emerald City Literary Agency and I would like to share some resources:

[PublishingCrawl.com] (a group blog featuring agents, editors, sales reps, and authors)

[QueryTracker.net] (A database of agents, made by the same people who created Query Manager!)

[absolutewrite.com/forums/] (A discussion board, with a fantastic YA section as well as a "background check" section for agents, and a place to post your query for critique. You must have a thick skin, but it's an excellent resource!)

[susandennard.com/for-writers/] (A curated list of resources created by a talented, New York Times bestselling YA author!)

[https://queryshark.blogspot.com/] (It's not often updated, but I find the archives so helpful for comments on queries to help guide writers.)"
