FYI, Laura's personal website is https://www.litagentlaurarennert.com/ (She hasn't updated it on QT/QM, I guess.) I've been researching agents for various projects for a long time and seen plenty of agent websites. Her personal website is one of the BEST that I've seen: well organized, easy to navigate, and with lots of information about her wishlist, how to query, and about her clients/recent deals/books represented. Seriously, if you're considering querying her, check out her site to see if she's a good fit and reps what you write!

Very nice form rejection

Thank you so much for your query. I appreciate the opportunity to consider your work, but unfortunately, after careful consideration, I have decided to bow out. I am truly sorry not to be able to offer you representation, and I wish you the very best of publishing luck as you move forward.

At ABLA, we understand that writing is a passion, an intensely personal calling, a long-time dream for many, and frequently a lonely endeavor. We have great respect for authors, and we share the writer's passion—that is why we are literary agents.

Unfortunately, publishing is a business that necessarily involves a lot of rejection, at every stage. One of the most difficult things for us as agents is to have to say no. Yet, we can take on only a small fraction of all the work we see, and this is simply a business reality.

We say no for many reasons—because of changing trends in the market; because we already have something similar on our list; because we know of similar published or forthcoming titles; because something isn't right for us; because although something may be strong, well-written and even publishable, we didn't fall in love with it.

Please do try to keep this one "no" in perspective. This is a highly subjective business, and while this is a pass from me, another agent may well feel differently.

Thank you for thinking of us and giving us this opportunity to consider your work.
