Snowbooks redux

"Dear [Ecks],

Thanks for being so patient with us. It has taken us longer than usual to get back to you (with other submissions passing through more quickly in the meantime) as we have deliberated over your work for a long time. Unfortunately the final decision is negative, after it has been read by a number of readers (who work remotely). Although our readers were enchanted by your writing, we just didn't find that it drew us long enough and kept us captivated the whole way through.

I am sorry to have taken so long in reaching this decision and I do wish you all the best in finding a more suitable publisher for your work.

Thanks again and best wishes

[Snowbooks]"

Oh well, back to the drawing board. Or rather the printer and the envelopes.
