Model Rejection

A model rejection from a publisher (I've eliminated the author of this elegant rejection, and, of course, the publisher).

'Thanks so much for sending me the novel, which I’ve much enjoyed reading this week. Your narrator is refreshingly singular and surprising and you chart her emotional terrain with real deftness and authenticity.

After all this, I’m sorry to introduce a ‘but’… but for everything that impressed me about this novel, and everything that I appreciated as a reader, I’m afraid that in the end the slant of the story – with its intense focus upon a protagonist’s interior world – just isn’t quite what I’m looking for for xxx'
