Thank you so much for sharing ______ with me and for your patience while I considered it. I appreciate being included in the agents you're considering for representation.

I see so much potential here, but unfortunately I'm going to step aside at this time. I make these difficult decisions based on my personal taste and areas of expertise. I encourage you to continue submitting to others, as reading preferences are subjective, and what may not be a good fit for one person may work perfectly for another. You're welcome to submit to any of the other agents at CMA, and I am open to future queries on new projects from those who have submitted to me previously, so please keep me in mind.

I wish you the best of luck in placing this with another agent. Thank you again for your query.

Best wishes,
Laurie Dennison

I was really intrigued by the concept, and I see so much potential here, but unfortunately I didn't feel as passionately engaged with the story progression as I'd hoped.
