Anyone know if it's worth querying a second agent if the first one you try here passes? The form letter they send with a rejection (see below) makes it sound like it's a "no from one is a no from all" agency, but the submission webpage at https://www.mmqalit.com/contact/ says it's okay to try a second agent.

Rejection 3/3/25: Thank you for sending us your query. Having considered it carefully, we have decided that MMQ is not the right fit for your project, and so we are going to pass at this time.
Tastes and specializations vary widely from agent to agent, and another agency may well feel differently. Thank you for thinking of our agency, and we wish you the best of luck in your search for representation.
