Received the following rejection to my query today (obviously, I am not going to say who from):

Dear R, Thank you so much for thinking of me. MIDAS AND THE GOLDEN CHILD has a compelling premise, and I enjoyed reading your sample pages. Unfortunately, it's not the right fit for my list at this time, and so I am going to step aside for now. However, I truly appreciate the opportunity to consider your work, and I wish you the very best of luck as you move forward!

This is a hard rejection, because it does not mean there is anything wrong with my work. If there was, I could improve on it. It also worries me, because when I came across this agent’s manuscript wish-list, she was one of the closest matches I had found yet. So what is there to do now? Keep sending in queries, and be confident that it’s not me right now--it’s them.
