Thank you for sending me the manuscript for [title], and for your patience while I reviewed it. While there's a lot to admire here, I unfortunately don't have the right vision to make it stand out in the YA fantasy market, and so I must pass. I'm sorry not to be writing with better news, and wish you all the best. You're always welcome to query me with future projects.
