Thank you for being in touch and sending me the opening of your novel.
I admired it but I am so sorry that it didn’t completely captivate me in the way I look for.
It takes an enormous amount of work and energy to launch a new author well and I have to feel huge passion and commitment to keep on believing in a project despite the inevitable hurdles. The gap between the exceptional novels that publishers go for, and the very excellent ones that they don’t, is large and getting bigger. I believe agents should take on only those writers whose books make their hearts sing. That wasn’t the case for me on this occasion but what one agent doesn’t quite fall for, another loves.
Thank you again for thinking of The Shaw Agency and I wish you good fortune in the future.
Thanks madchick
