Bethany,
Thanks for your interest in working with me, but I'm not the right fit for this--I am not open to scifi, and I do not care for time travel stories. And at this hefty word count you need an agent with a really powerful enthusiasm.
I wish you the best of luck in finding an agent and publisher for your work.
Sincerely,
Sharon
Yes, time travel is considered speculative fiction under science fiction. Maybe she should update her list? It came off as rude because she was blunt.
