Thank you for sending me the manuscript. I'm sorry to say that the opening pages weren't pulling me in as strongly as I had hoped in order to champion the work. I'm so sorry to have to share such disappointing news. The publishing industry is so subjective, so what may not be working for me could be just the thing another agent is looking for.
In your search for the perfect agent, you may want to check out Writer’s Digest Guide to Literary Agents blog: http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/guide-to-literary-agents, I have found it to be an excellent resource for finding new agents that are looking to build their lists.
I also encourage writers to gather beta readers and critique partners to help hone their craft. Their suggestions can be so valuable!
I encourage you to continue your pursuit of publication. Keep honing your skills, learning about the industry, and always embrace a growth mindset. I'm rooting for you!
Best wishes in finding the right agent who will champion your work!
