Didn't "fit the list." Rejection came from Victoria Doherty-Munro, as happened to others. That probably reflects something about how the agency is structured.

Okay, this feels a bit weird. I first queried Victoria Doherty-Munro but never got a reply, so I marked that query as a CNR. Now I got a form rejection from that same agent/assistant on behalf of Dan Lazar.

The querying process is brutal, and discouraging. There has to be a better way!


Dear [name,]


Thank you for your query. Dan Lazar asked me to reply after he evaluated your submission.


We’re afraid your project does not seem right for our list, but thank you for thinking of Dan, and best of luck in your search for representation.


Sincerely,


Torie Doherty Munro

A nice response, but was, sadly, a rejection from his assistant. Arrived 5 days after quiery.
