Took a while, but glad he at least replied. Feeling very unsure of myself lately with these rejections, but trying to stay strong. Seems like he barely asks for any full requests and even then rejects those sometimes, as other commenters have pointed out.
Hope someone here can get a good shot with him!

Sci fi Query submitted 2/8/26.
Hello, just thought I would let you know that some chapter’s take place in the Yucatan & Ontario as well.
Also, I could always change the Artificial intelligence premise to an Artificial Enhancement AE- Human Interface Tool, without much effort, just in case the AI thing is getting tired out.
Either way, I hope to hear from you soon.
