Submitted November 9, 2025 and just got a r. Wondering if the second paragraph is standard?


Thank you so much for your query, but I am going to pass at this time. Unfortunately, I don't believe I'm the right agent to champion this piece. Thank you for considering me for your work, and I wish you luck in your writing future.

In your search for the perfect agent, you may want to check out Writer's Digest Guide to Literary Agents blog. We have found it to be a great resource for finding new agents who are looking to build their lists.
