From Carrie's QueryManager form:
I am currently closed to queries (and am planning to re-open sometime in Spring 2024 after I am back from maternity leave). I apologize for the inconvenience, but suggest that you check out my colleagues' bios at ldlainc.com/about to submit to a different agent at LDLA instead!
For anyone who has already queried me and not yet received a response: I will review and get back to you as quickly as I can! Feel free to check in if it has been longer than two months.

Very nice rejection letter, polite and respectful with a nice, positive comment on the story despite not ultimately winning her over. Much appreciated.
"Thanks so much for thinking of me with this project. Unfortunately, even though there are some great elements, it didn't quite spark for me. Please keep in mind this is an incredibly subjective business, so I encourage you to keep submitting and I hope other agents feel differently.
Best of luck!
Carrie"
