personalized rejection:
Thank you for your patience and the opportunity to review your work and to be introduced to yor world in Yosemite (and elsewhere)!.
I can see that you have put a lot of energy into the thinking behind this project and while I find it nicely written--I'm just not as taken with it as I would want to be. In all honesty, I'm not quite sure why it isn't "working" for me but that is just the subjective nature of my work .
That said, of course--you need an agent that will help you to develop,hone,publish and market this project with the appropriate ardor.
I have a good feeling someone will make this fly and I hope you'll send me an autographed copy one day!
On the off chance that you do not connect with another agent, and have something else to show in the future--I would welcome a query.
In the interim, I do hope another agent finds just the right house wherein to place your book!
Do take care!
Best,
Meredith

Always verify agent's information before sending your query, and review the agent's website(s) for more up-to-date information.
Though we do our best, QueryTracker can not guarantee the accuracy of any information provided.
An agent listing on QueryTracker is not an endorsement or recommendation of that agent by QueryTracker.
Before contacting an agent, authors should verify and assess the agent's requirements and suitability by visiting the agent's website(s), and becoming familiar with ways to spot and avoid bad agents. A good place to start is Writers Beware, a watch group that helps inform and protect authors from shady practices.
"Thank you so much for reaching out! Alas, I don't think this feels like a fit for me..but I wish you the very best in your pursuit of publication."
Very odd, considering how many earlier queries are still awaiting response from her. (Also unusual that she doesn't ask for an excerpt or synopsis, only a letter.)
