Sent the synopsis yesterday, got a reply today. A rejection, but a very nice one at that.
Dear Ms. St. Clair:
We've read your chapters of The Redemption of Joshua Bates, and we'll
have to pass on the project. Your writing is very good, but you don't
have the dark, eerie tone that we expect in a vampire romance. Our
readers like to feel that the vampire is a serious threat to the hero or
heroine, whichever one is human. It's obvious that both your hero and
your heroine are nice people, so it's clear that they'll end up together
in the end, which takes away from the suspense.
This does not mean that your book won't work for other publishing
houses, and we wish you luck in placing it elsewhere.
A nice rejection! So I sent a reply asking them about YA series, because I really really want to have S&P there.
