full of moxie and viscosity

Dear Rachel,

Thank you for allowing us to read your manuscript "Somewhere in Los Angeles." We have given it a thorough read and have found the writing to be of an exceptional quality. We particularly enjoyed the narrator's sense of humor and uniqueness, both of which helped to promote an immediate connection between reader and narrative. We had trouble, however, with the limitedness of the narrative voice. We felt that the perspective of the novel, being aligned with the narrator's infatuation, was too narrow in scope. Ideally, we like to take narratives in which a love affair develops among events - here the events seem built around the love affair. We have therefore, unfortunately, decided to pass on your manuscript. We do, however, wish you the best of luck and hope that this letter gives you some insight into our read of your manuscript.

Sincerely,
The best rejection note writers in the world.







I can handle rejection if this is what it looks like. I have three weeks to send the manuscript out again. Start the timers. Tonight I begin the quest again. Rejuvenated, lease on life. (Props to VLF for that term).
