Q: 2/23/25 72k Historical fiction
R: 10/2/25 (I had already CNRed.) "Thanks so much for thinking of me, but this one's just not quite right for my list. Due to a full workload, I have to be extremely selective about pursuing new projects. Please know that this is a very subjective business and that tastes range widely among agents. Someone else may feel very differently—you deserve someone who is passionate about your work and is confident about their ability to position it. Best of luck with this, and thank you so much for thinking of me."
