@azagame there's a "maybe" button that agents can see that we can't on here. if she skipped yours, it was probably in the maybe category! i'd re-query her if i were you.

Thank you for your query. Unfortunately I must pass as I don't think I'm the best fit at this time. That said, publishing is a very subjective industry, and your project may very well be perfect for someone else. I wish you the best of luck in all your publishing endeavors, and I hope this project finds the perfect home soon.
Best wishes,
Chelsea
