Thank you so much for thinking of Nelson Literary Agency for your submission. Unfortunately, it's not quite what I'm looking for at the moment. I wish I could offer a more personalized response, but do know that we read every query letter and sample we receive. Even though your project is not right for us, it might be right for another agent, so don't give up!

Good luck with all your publishing endeavors.

Query: 8/29
Rejection: 9/16 - Similar response to others

Thank you so much for thinking of me for your project! I thought your query and sample were well-written with a strong concept but not quite what I'm looking for at the moment. Because I'm careful to keep my client list manageable, I'm being really selective about what I request. However, I think another agent is going to be intrigued enough to ask for the manuscript and I'm sorry I can't offer a referral.
