Horror 67K Words. Seems like a similar form response from previous comments.
I'm sorry, but your project is not a fit for me at this time. I will have to pass. This is a subjective industry, and agents only have room for so many clients. What doesn't fit me might be an excellent fit for another agent!
I get so many lovely queries that I cannot individually respond to everyone. Know that this decision could be due to any number of reasons, including:
I have something too similar on my list right now.
I know that something similar coming out soon.
I am not interested in representing that particular genre.
It is well-done and submission ready, but I just don't have the vision for it.
This is a slow, subjective business, so please don't let that discourage you - your agent is out there. We all want partnerships where everyone is equally ecstatic about the work!
Thank you for considering me and best of luck with your future queries.
Keep writing,
