Partial req - 50 pgs 4/6
Rejection with nice letter 4/17
Thank you for sending me a portion of your manuscript. I enjoyed reading it.
While your pages are interesting and well-written, after careful consideration, I feel that your project is not right for my list at the current time.
I wish you the best in finding the right agent who can successfully champion your project.
Best,
