It's been a while since I've posted a rejection letter, and I don't want to mislead anyone. Despite my recent string of successes, I still get rejections letters. Below you'll find a recent rejection I received for a story I know is good.
Hello Alex,
Thank you so much for the submission, and I apologise for the delay in my response.
While I liked your story very much and enjoyed reading it; I do feel that it isn't really a suitable fit for this anthology.
If you have a story that you think would be a better fit, please feel free to send it along.
I am looking for stories to do with planting either ideas or horticulture and watching the ideas or produce flourish into your worst nightmare.
Thanks

What I find interesting about this one is that I thought it may be rejected for a completely different reason. In the story the main character as an adult recollects a nightmare she had at the age of 5. In the dream her adult self is raped by a creature/man. I was worried that although it was only a dream, and I made it clear it was her future adult body, the editor/publisher would have an issue with a 5 year old having a nightmare of being raped. As you can tell from my next post, I was wrong.
