Dear Stina,
Thank you for your submission. After reading your sample we have decided not to offer you representation. Although we enjoyed your idea, we would suggest that you open with immediate, decisive action that gets your readers involved in the main storyline of your character. A good way to think about this is to begin your book at the very last possible second. We would also suggest that you further develop your character profiles.
We wish you the best of luck.
I won't lie, I love getting suggestions because it's better than just a, "no thanks", but I also tend to get really grumpy and irritable. You spend a year writing the book, 3 months revising and revising, send it to an editor to catch all the kinks you missed, revise it again then someone tells you to revise some more! Gah! I guess it's just how it works. Back to the laptop I go!
