[This is an Automated Reply.]
Thank you for your query regarding your book project and for giving me the opportunity to consider your work. I receive hundreds of queries each month, and I read each one myself, but I will reply only if I am interested in seeing more material.
Because of the number of active authors I represent, I have room to take on only a few new authors each year. It is important that I focus on projects that I believe I can represent in the strongest, most enthusiastic way possible.
If you do not hear from me within two weeks, you should assume I have determined your project would not be a good fit for my strengths and that I have declined the opportunity to consider it further.
If you receive an offer of representation during the two-week window, please send a second email to let me know.
Please note that I do not consider fiction queries. If your query is about a novel, please visit our agency website to determine whether one of my colleagues is right for you.
Many thanks again for thinking of me.
Sincerely,
Laurie Abkemeier
