Disappointed, but thankful for the email Genevieve Gagne-Hawes' (Writer House editor) sent today. I truly appreciate how professional and personal the interactions with them have been during the querying process—which, at times, can be somewhat soul-crushing. Anyone who gets to work with these folks should consider themselves quite fortunate.
