I am actually quite happy with this rejection note. It comes from an agency that made a strong point of "If you don't hear from us take that as a no." She gave great feedback, and I am considering more "commercial" and "quirky" projects. I am not giving up on the story, but just trying to think of more successful future ventures.
Tina,
Thank you so much for sending THE TREE THAT HELD THE SKY for my consideration. Unfortunately, this project isn't a fit for me or the agency. This is a lovely idea and written well, but I think it spends too long on the negatives, the exhaustion, the growing old. In this tough, tough picture book market, editors are looking for fun, quirky and commercial. I'm afraid I'm not taking on any risky picture book projects right now, which is a shame.
As you know, these decisions are highly subjective, and another agent may have an entirely different opinion. After all, it takes just one "yes" to find the right match. Thank you again for thinking of *********, and I wish you the best of luck in finding a good home for your writing.
Thanks!
