Queried 87,000 low fantasy/magical realism on Feb. 8, 2025
Considered CNR June 9, 2025
Rejected with apparently a form letter August 4, 2025:

It's taken me much too long to get back to you on this one, I'm so sorry. While I found much to admire in XX, my growing list means I have less time to read & more particular decisions to make.

I hope you've heard better news in the meantime, and if that's the case, that you'll consider this a thank you for considering me for your representation.

with appreciation,
Zoe
