Thank you so much for sending the Nelson Agency sample pages of LILA.
After a careful reading, we are sorry to say that we don't believe this project is right for our agency.
Because this business is so subjective and opinions vary widely, we recommend that you pursue other agents. After all, it just takes one "yes" to find the right match.
Good luck with all your publishing endeavors.
Sincerely,
Kristin Nelson

Note from Anita: Thank you for your interest in our agency. We'd like to commend you on the strengths of your novel; it has great characters and suspense. However, we don't think it is quite ready. The setting doesn't feel futuristic enough for the year 2532. We'd also like to recommend that you not mention your age when you query an agent; if the writing is strong enough that will not matter. Best wishes for your writing!
