"Many thanks for your email and for thinking of me for this. I enjoyed the writing and the setting immensely, but overall this project isn’t quite commercial enough for my list. The three separate but interlinked novellas is a tricky sell outside of literary fiction so for that reason I’m going to step aside. However, I wish you all the best with finding the right agent to work with on this."
