There's something about rejection letters that don't bother to say my name or mention the name of the story I sent that really pisses me off. I've said it before, I'm okay with rejections, but have the common decency to show that you know who you're even emailing. The unprofessionalism of this rejection letter, gives me pause when considering to submit with them again.
Thank you for your recent submission to WEP's Once Bitten, Never Die. Unfortunately, we have decided to pass on your story. This is not reflective of the quality of your writing, we just didn't feel it was a good fit for this anthology.
We hope you will continue to submit your work to WEP, and wish you the best of luck in all of your writing endeavors.
Sincerely,
JAW, WEP\
You wouldn't know it from reading that but this is for the story Little Changes, and as you may recall, I acknowledge this isn't my best writing, but I believed it fit nicely with what the anthology was asking for. Seemingly unable to find a home for this story, I'll be posting it up on the blog shortly, judge for yourselves.

If it makes you feel better, they didn't bother to mention their own name.
ReplyDeleteNo they did, the "JAW" is the editors initials, and the "WEP" is the initials of the compnay. Thank you though, appreciated.
