Dear Elaine,
Thank you for your query. Unfortunately I must pass as I don't think I'm the best fit at this time. That said, publishing is a very subjective industry, and your project may very well be perfect for someone else. I wish you the best of luck in all your publishing endeavors, and I hope this project finds the perfect home soon.
Best wishes,
Chelsea

Well shucks, I guess 71k is too long for MG Fantasy. It wouldn't let me submit. That's a bit frustrating.

Honestly, what was the point of taking so long for a form rejection?
