"Thank you for submitting PROJECT TITLE for review and for your patience while I considered it. Unfortunately I am unable to offer representation at this time.
I am extremely selective with the types of projects I take on. In order for me to offer representation, I have to feel wildly passionate about a story, and have a clear vision for how I could sell it, and that happens so rarely.
Please know that this is one opinion in a highly subjective field and another agent may feel differently. I wish you the best of luck and thank you for thinking of Thompson Literary."
