Query response in three days.
Love the suite of form response approaches, it gives you a little bit to think about as you work through the process without having to personalize. It's a rather hopeful approach and I really appreciate it.

she said I can requery if I work the first five pages again, but what would be the point if she doesn’t like the premise at all?

Won’t bother querying this MS again with her

This is the worst industry

I appreciate being trusted with your work and can see why you resonated with my wishlist. That said, I have unfortunately decided not to pursue your project further.

This is a subjective, taste-based opinion and is not intended as a condemnation of your craft or a reflection on your worth as a writer. In search of that elusive personal "fit" I have to pass on a lot of truly interesting projects. If I am sending you this form response, it is because I wasn't deeply intrigued by your premise (as articulated in your query) and your opening pages did not subsequently reverse this hesitation.

I'm sorry not to write with better news and sincerely wish you the best of luck in the query trenches.

all best,
Allegra

P.S You can requery me at any time if you complete a book revision that involves reworking the sample materials you submitted here (namely, the first 5 pages, since that weighs heavily in my consideration).
