Dear [name],

Congratulations on your interest! That's really exciting news.

I have reviewed your pages, and I'm afraid the story didn't quite draw me in in the way I'd need it to in order to be your best partner for this project. Therefore I will have to step aside at this time.

Thank you very much for submitting to me—I appreciate your time and the chance to see your work. I wish you all the best of luck going forwards.

Kind regards,

Clara
