Thank you for your submission to Red Sofa Literary,
I get dozens of submissions each day and unfortunately I'm only able to take on a small capacity of work.
I will be passing on your project at this time. Please keep writing and submitting- I have faith that another agent will be able to be your perfect match in time.
Thank you,

Submission form asked about marketing strategy, which I never really like when agents ask that. Isn't that their job? If I wanted to market myself I'd indie publish.
