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.
