"Thank you for sending over your submission. While I appreciate the amount of work you’ve put into creating this story, I am unfortunately going to have to pass on this project. As you may know, fiction is very subjective and just because this wasn’t a good fit for me, that doesn’t mean that someone else won’t feel differently."

FR from Matt Belford: 9/24/20 (submitted 9/25)
ER: 11/02/20 - Felt like a standard form rejection, which kind of sucks to get for a full MS request. He mentioned my sample chapters did not get to a major point of tension soon enough . . . which makes me think he didn't make it very far into the MS at all. Seems like a cool guy; kind of bummed this didn't pan out. Ah well.
