“Thank you for your query. Unfortunately, Veritas only considers debut authors with an established platform (ideally 1MM+ followers), verified media connections, and proven distribution channels—querying a familiar story told in a semi-fresh way that guarantees high sales with zero risk.
Don’t give up! You should self-publish, hit the Kindle Top 5, and query me again once you’ve achieved significant sales figures and a viral moment. Wu-Tang!”
Just kidding. It was a lovely form rejection:
Dear [insert your name here]
Thank you for your query. Unfortunately, it's not quite what I'm looking for at this time, so I will have to pass. I encourage you to continue querying with the hopes of finding the right agent for your project.
Best wishes in your search for representation.
Sincerely,
Michael
