Thank you for sending me your query.
I'm sorry not to request more of your work or offer representation, but your project is not a fit for me.
Publishing is very subjective, and other agents may well feel differently. Thank you for considering me, and I wish you all success finding your project a home!
Best wishes,

05/21/26 Nudged, since my query is still pending, with message of having done substantial revision and offering to send revised material. Received a very nice reply "Thank you for checking in! Due to the volume of queries I recently received, I'm still reading and considering several for requests. I hope to have responded to all queries by the end of May, if not before."
