The best rejection

This is the best rejection I have gotten for The were I Have Become from an agent Sorry if it's harder to read  Date: August 25, 2015, 4:33 PM Dear Trisha, Thank you for your email query.  Due to the overwhelming volume of electronic queries the Agency receives, we have briefly read your query.

Sincerely, Ann Proust Editorial Assistant

And will end up deleting nearly of that work and basically start over. But such is life of a mother who is a writer. Well I am off to try to get some...
