Well, that publisher that I had so much hope for, finally gave me a
rejection. It was a nice one, I have to admit, but I can't tell if it
was a form rejection or a personal one. Here it is. What do you think:
Dear Mr. West,
Thank
you for submitting your work, Bridge to Destiny. After careful
consideration, we have decided not to publish your manuscript at this
time. While your writing is very good, it was felt that the story did
not have a strong enough hook to compete with other similarly themed
books aimed at the same audience. Please be aware that we offer to
publish less than six percent of the manuscripts we review, and although
we did not offer to publish your manuscript, we encourage you in your
endeavors to get it published. We do not feel like we could effectively
represent your book in the marketplace right now and hope that you can
find a publisher to better suit your needs.
Again, thank you for sending us your manuscript.
Sincerely,
The Editorial Board
