a good rejection
Jun. 25th, 2005 09:02 amNow this is the sort of rejection I like to get...
This morning's email included a personalized rejection from Maxim Jakubowski, saying that my story had just missed the final cut for Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica 5, and encouraging me to submit to next year's edition. The form letter section included an explanation and apology for the delay in responding to submissions.
Obviously I'd rather have had an acceptance, but this definitely rated high on the "how good a rejection was it?" scale.
beth_bernobich, I can see why you like this editor.
