Dear ____,
Thank you so much for your query. I appreciate the opportunity to consider more of your work, but unfortunately, after careful consideration, I have decided to step aside. I am taking on very few new projects these days, and I am truly sorry not to be able to offer you representation.
While this is a pass from me, another agent may well feel differently. If you'd like to give the whole agency an opportunity to consider your work, we invite you to send a query to our shared Second Chance Inbox. Every ABLA agent has access to this inbox and will look through it regularly to discover new material. You may send your query to the following address: https://QueryManager.com/ABLA_SecondChance
I wish you the very best of publishing luck as you move forward.
All best,
Laura
