It's Easter Sunday, so I'm surprised, but I hope she likes the full!

UPDATE:
R on full: 5/16/19
The nicest personalized rejection though! Commented on aspects of the novel and the main character. Seems she liked it but wasn't completely in love with it. Oh well! I appreciate the fast response!

Dear Author,

Thanks so much for letting us take a look at your materials,
and please forgive me for responding with a form letter. The volume of submissions we receive, however, makes it impossible to correspond with everyone personally.
Unfortunately, the project you describe does not suit our list
at this time. We wish you the best of luck in finding an agent and publisher for your work, and we thank you, once again, for letting us consider your materials.

Sincerely,
Dystel, Goderich & Bourret LLC
