ER: form rejection, very polite 10/14/18
Haven't heard a peep yet, so either she's still considering mine or it got lost somewhere.
Thank you for sending me a portion of your manuscript. I enjoyed reading it.
While your pages are interesting and very well-written, unfortunately, I didn’t quite connect with the characters as strongly as I had hoped.
I wish you the best in finding the right agent who can successfully champion your project.
