Spec Lit Sci-Fi 125k

Super fast for mine! Knew it was probably not the BEST fit, but thought I'd try anyway -
The FR seems to hint that she may be closer to capacity than before?
"Thank you for your thoughtful query. I appreciate the chance to consider ***. After careful consideration, however, I've decided to pass at this time. I've had to be especially selective recently given my limited bandwidth between supporting my boss's client list and growing my own. This has played a large part in my decision here. Of course, all passes are subjective at heart, so I hope this will not discourage you from continuing your search for representation. Another agent may very well feel differently, and you deserve an advocate who deeply connects with your work.
Thank you again for thinking of me, and I wish you all the best as you move forward."
