No Tingles Rejection

Posted on 7:05 AM by humpty
Found this one while sifting through some emails the other day.  It's a couple of years old, but still an interesting one:
Dear [  ]: Thanks for giving me a peek at your novel, [  ]. I think it's clear that you're a wonderful writer, and I like the energy of your emails. But it comes down to this: In the end, I just didn't get the tingles about this one. And in this ultra-tough marketplace, I've got to be head over heels in love with something in order to take it on. I'm sorry I don't have better news, but I'm glad to hear you have others looking at it, and I hope someone falls in love with it soon. Best of luck, and take care. Kindest Regards, Danielle Chiotti
