"Thank you so much for sending me [Title] and allowing me to consider your work. I have a great deal of respect and appreciation for each writer who shares their story with me. While I found much to admire, your project isn't a good fit for my list at this time. For that reason, I'll step aside. Thank you for considering me and best of luck with your future queries!"
