Thank you for letting me review your material for SWEET WATER, which I read with great interest. I found the premise of your work interesting, but the opening pages didn't pull me in as much as I'd hoped.

I'm sorry to say that the material does not seem to be a fit for my list at this time, and so I must pass. Please understand that this decision reflects the needs and preferences of my list, rather than a reflection of your talent.

I wish you the best of luck placing this successfully, and if you don't secure representation this round, please feel free to query again with any new projects.

Best regards,
Kendall Berdinsky
