Rejections 5/13-5/13

Yesterday was a very bad day, so please bear with me as I catch up. 

 Rejections:

Thank you for submitting "After Making Landfall" to Chicago Review. We are sorry to report that we have decided against it, but we wish you luck placing your work elsewhere.  


Sincerely,

Chicago Review

And: 

Thank you for your submission to The Saturday Evening Post. After careful consideration, we are sorry to say that we will not be publishing your story in our publication. Because of the sheer volume of freelance submissions we receive, we regret that we are unable to provide a more personal response. For many reasons—from subject matter to style to the limitations of space—we sometimes must reject well-written, insightful stories. 

We are indebted to independent writers like yourself, without whom publishing our magazine and our online content would not be possible. 

Sincerely,

The Saturday Evening Post Editors

Trying to crack the professional ranks did not work:

 Thank you very much for letting us see "The Psychotic Ape."  We appreciate your taking the time to send it in for our consideration.  Although it does not suit the needs of the magazine at this time, we wish you luck with placing it elsewhere.

For the best sense of the fiction we're looking for, I recommend subscribing to Asimov's or picking up an issue to get a feel for what we publish.

Sincerely,
Emily Hockaday, Interim Editor

But Freedom Fiction Journal picked up "Going for The Kid."

 

5/13 

And for Thursday, one for "After Making Landfall":

Thank you for submitting to Tahoma Literary Review. We have read your work with interest, but it does not meet TLR’s current editorial needs. We appreciate your efforts and your interest in the journal, and wish you all success in placing this work in another venue.

Best,

Ann Beman

Prose Editor
