82k YA fantasy with LGBTQ+ rep.
I'm a little confused because the rejection came from the agency itself (not this specific agent), and my query still shows as active in her queue. Not sure what's going on there!
Hello,
Thank you so much for sending your materials for our review. There was a lot about your submission we liked, however we didn't feel passionate about it in a way that would allow us to be the best champion for your work.
Though we will not be offering representation at this time, we wish you the very best on your publishing journey!
All the best,
ArtHouse Literary Agency
