Sci-Fi, 90k.
"Thank you for querying me with [Title]. I'm sorry to say, though, that I must pass. Love the concept and general ideas, but I wasn’t as grabbed by the writing as I needed to be. That said, I think you have good instincts and feel free to query me again.
As always, another agent may feel completely differently. Good luck to you on your querying journey."
Really appreciate the feedback, now I know what to focus on.

I appreciate the turnaround! Keeping this one to query the next time I have a project...
