Resubmitted after 3 months per agency guidelines, but looks like this has changed because I received an automatic receipt email stating to consider queries a pass if you haven't heard back after 3 months.

"Many thanks for sharing these opening chapters with me. There is much to admire here but ultimately I’m afraid I don’t think I’m the right match for this story. Agenting is very subjective, so I hope you do not find this discouraging. Wishing you the very best in your querying journey and writing career!"
