"I was very intrigued by the premise, but after some consideration, I'm sorry to say that I don't have the clear editorial vision that I need in order to be the right agent to champion this particular work. This is extremely subjective and therefore, I'm stepping aside so that you can find the perfect agent who can passionately advocate you and your story. I'm not surprised at all you already have some interest! I will cheer you on from the sidelines and wish you the very best in getting your work placed."

Thao Le is literally the only one who mentioned "Tam Lin" as one of her favorite faerie tales on MSWL, which is what inspired my retelling adult romance fantasy (in response to the DISRESPECT Tamlin's character got in ACOTAR). I'm disappointed she doesn't appear to be open to queries for anyone other than BIPOC authors, but I understand. I'll keep her on my watch list just in case she opens up again. Fingers crossed.
