So close!

Dear Joyce,

Thanks for sending Red December Skies. Your writing is excellent and we love the premise. However, it seems that the voice in Ethel's and Jerry's chapters sound too similar. We also felt that the beginning could use more tension and a faster pace. We're going to have to pass on offering representation, but we're sure other agents will feel differently. Also, if you decide to revise or if you have other manuscripts in the future, we'd be willing to consider those as well. Thanks again for querying and best of luck placing your work.

Sincerely,
Judith

Just wondering . . . After you sent in your manuscript, how long did it take until you got this response? Thanks.
