2/6:

Thank you for sending us "A Heart’s Judgment Judged." I greatly appreciate the chance to read it. Unfortunately, this one doesn't wholly feel like a match for me as a reader and I am going to pass.

Thanks again, and best of luck with this!

Sincerely,

2/9

And a rejection:

Thank you for submitting The Dead and The Dying for consideration by Bard Books. We understand and appreciate the effort it takes to send a book to a publisher.

We have completed our review, and this book was not chosen for publication. Every writer and every book is distinct, and many factors inform our decision, including taste. We therefore hope you will not consider this note a reflection on your writing.

Although Bard Books will not be publishing The Dead and The Dying, we hope it finds a good home.
