135,000-word science fiction novel.

1/15/25: Query sent.
1/16/25: Rejected with a form letter. Not too surprising since her agency doesn't represent much sf. She represented a classic, THE SPARROW, 28 years ago but hasn't specialized in sf since.

In an interview, she stated that she asks for FR from almost 50% of all queries and from those, only 1-2 get signed. Just keeping it real.
