"Given my present workload, I would not be able to give your Maddie descriptive time and attention it deserves."

What is Maddie descriptive time? Is this really the agent for all the Clive Cussler books? Oh well!

given my present workload, I would not be able to give your interesting book of the time and attention it deserves.

I wish you well with another agent.


I'm still not quite sure how to take the "interesting book" comment...my literal brain is probably overanalyzing but regardless, I always appreciate a response.

I wish I could make sense of how they read queries. It seems like some are responded to almost immediately and others never get a response. Either way, I'd love it if they would just close the loop.
