Thanks so much for giving me the opportunity to consider the first pages of your manuscript, which I read last night. You are clearly a talented writer and I appreciate A. introducing us.
Unfortunately, however, I am being extremely careful about taking on new projects, particularly first novels which are very difficult to place in the current marketplace. I fear that although I see this as certainly publishable, in the end I didn't feel as enthusiastically about this book as I hoped to, and so won't be offering representation.
Clearly this is a business of taste and sensibilities and I trust another agent will feel differently and champion this work on your behalf.
Thanks again for the opportunity to consider your work and I wish you the best of luck with it.
Sincerely,
Real NYC Agent
