GOING TRADITIONAL STATUS REPORT: Rejection #40
Via snail mail today from Dunow, Carlson & lerner Literary Agency:Dear Celise:
Thanks for the chance to consider Draven Atreides, Teenage FBI. This is a great idea, and I love the title. I'm sorry to say, though, that I didn't fall in love with the narrative. It feels a little overwritten to me--to my ear the scenes tend to overexplain what's happening, and also at times I think the narrator's sensibility comes across as older than her age.
I won't be surprised to heart that you find others to disagree, and I do wish you all the best with this.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Carlson
