Good Rejection from Frederick Hill Bonnie Nadell Agency

Here's the rejection I got from Carolyn Kellogg. Originally, I wanted Bonnie Nadell to read BLANK since she helped get Infinite Jest published, which is a miraculous feat considering how hostile publishing is to innovative literary fiction, especially when it's prolix. Instead, I received this very kind (but obviously, very disappointing) rejection from Carolyn Kellogg. Here it is:

Dear Jackson:

Thank you for thinking of Hill Nadell Agency for your novel BLANK. While you clearly are an accomplished writer, I'm sorry to say that we've decided your project is not a good fit for our list.

Best wishes in finding the right custodian for your work.

Sincerely,
Carolyn Kellogg
