Rejection letters, 2

Ryan,

Thank you for sending us “Limits of Oceans and Seas”, which was shortlisted for publication. Unfortunately our editors could not come to consensus and, upon careful consideration, decided the work wasn't a good fit for our next issue.

I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding a home for this piece and we certainly would be pleased to hear from you in the future.

Thanks again. Best of luck.

Dear Ryan Boyle,

Thank you for sending your manuscript to us at ––––– via the online submission manager.

After careful consideration, we regret that this submission does not meet the editorial needs of the journal at this time. We do hope you will send to us again in the future as we could not publish ––––– without the many quality submissions we receive.

Although we would like to send an individual response to everyone, the number of manuscripts we receive makes it difficult for editors to respond personally to each submission. Please know that we are devoted to giving each submission to ––––– at least three reads and an editor personally reads each submission. We do appreciate your interest in –––––, and the opportunity to consider your work.

Thank your for supporting our journal with your writing, reading, and subscribing.

Sincerely,

——————————————

Dear Ryan Boyle:

Thank you for sending us "Common Features of Mammals in Captivity."

We look forward to reading more.

Best regards,

Dear Ryan Boyle,

Thank you for sending your manuscript "Common Features of Mammals in Captivity," number 26652, to us here at –––––––––– via the online submission manager.

We are sorry this particular manuscript was not selected for publication in ––––––––––. We hope you will send us another soon, though. We could not publish –––––––––– without the fine writing submitted to us. While we regret that the large number of submissions we receive makes it difficult for the editors to respond personally, we want to emphasize that an editor personally read your manuscript. Devoted reading is part of the –––––––––– editorial mission; it is also our own personal one.

If this manuscript was a prize entry: we are sorry this prize entry was not selected for the –––––––––– fiction or poetry prize or for publication in ––––––––––. We receive many fine prize entries, so it was a difficult decision to make. Thank you for sending us your manuscript to read, and thank you for supporting the nonprofit –––––––––– with your entry's subscription. By the end of May we will announce the prize winners and finalists on the –––––––––– website, by e-mail list, and by SASE if you included one with your entry.

Thank you for supporting the journal with your reading, writing, and subscribing,
The Editors

Dear Ryan Boyle:

We’re sorry we can’t use "Limits of Oceans and Seas," which you submitted to upstreet number seven. We have received a great deal of work by writers who will not be included in the final selection, but certainly deserve to have their voices heard in other publications.

We wish you all the best with your writing; thank you for giving us the opportunity to read it.

Dear Ryan,

Thank you for sending us "Limits of Oceans and Seas". We are honored that you considered our publication worthy to receive your writing. We thank you for the opportunity to read your work, but we regret that we must pass on it at this time. After receiving so many equally wonderful submissions, it becomes impossible to print them all. Thus, we must make the painful choice between them.

However, due to the caliber of your submission, we invite you to submit new work next month. We wish you the best of luck in your authorial endeavors, and we hope to hear from you again soon.

Sincerely,
Rebecca Anne Renner

Dear Ryan Boyle,

Thank you for sending us "Common Feature of Mammals in Captivity".

Unfortunately, while we very much enjoyed your writing, we didn't feel it was quite right for PANK. While we respectfully ask that you wait at least one month before submitting more work for our consideration, we do encourage you to keep us in mind for future submissions.

Sincerely,
Roxane
