Despite the diclaimer on his website that he accepts virtually no new clients I submitted 4/5/18.
rejection 4/7/18 Saturday afternoon 2:30ish

Brief in any case, probably a form, but it looks updated from the previous form letters submitted here so...

"Thank you for your query. Unfortunately, for the foreseeable future, I am accepting virtually no new clients and do not think we would be a match. I wish you success."

Although he's closed to queries, I've tried anyway. I've gotten the same response as CHowland again, another same day rejection.

Thanks for querying me about your work. With a very full plate, I take on new writers only in exceptional circumstances, and your work is not, I am sorry to say, for me.
