Dear Contributor:<br />
<br />
Thank you very much for submitting your work. After careful consideration, the editors were not able to accept it for publication.<br />
<br />
We would like to offer personalized letters or feedback but limitations of time and staff have made that impossible at the present. We wish you the best of luck in finding a journal to publish your writing. The editorial staff, including the editor-in-chief, Mark Jay Mirsky, welcomes critical response to past issues of the magazine if you wish to include any in future submissions or letters. If you identify yourself as a writer who submitted to Fiction, you may order back issues at a fifty percent discount.<br />
<br />
With best regards,<br />

Dear_______: <br />
<br />
Thank you for letting us see "++++." We very much enjoyed reading it. Despite its many fine qualities, in the end we felt that the piece was not right for Fiction. <br />
<br />
The reasons for this are always varied. The editors may have disagreed or may have concluded that the story didn't work for them in its present form. We hope this encourages you to keep writing and submitting, as we'd be interested in seeing more of your fiction in the future. <br />
<br />
Sincerely, The Editors<br />

<div>"Since its founding in 1953, ''The Paris Review'' has been America’s preeminent literary quarterly, dedicated to discovering and publishing the best new voices in fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. The magazine introduced readers to the earliest writings of Jack Kerouac, Philip Roth, T. C. Boyle, V. S. Naipaul, Ha Jin, Jay McInerney, and Mona Simpson, and published numerous now-classic works, including Roth’s ''Goodbye, Columbus,'' Donald Barthelme’s ''Alice,'' Jim Carroll’s ''Basketball Diaries,'' and selections from Samuel Beckett’s ''Molloy'' (his first publication in English). The first chapter of Jeffrey Eugenides’s ''The Virgin Suicides'' appeared in the ''Review’s'' pages, as well as stories by David Foster Wallace, Jim Crace, Lorrie Moore, Denis Johnson, Edward P. Jones, Rick Moody, Ann Patchett, Jim Shepard, and Jeanette Winterson."<br />

Thank you for submitting your story [title of story] to Granta. I liked this story a lot. You write very evocatively, the tastes and the smells in the story, the sense of intimacy, all come right off the page with great feeling and precision. Unfortunately we won’t be publishing this piece but please do send me other stories that you’d like us to consider.<br />
<br />
All the best,<br />
<br />

Dear writer,<br />
Thank you for sending your story along, but I'm afraid it's not quite right for Harper's Magazine. Please know that we publish only twelve stories a year and receive hundreds of submissions for each one of those spots; under such circumstances, a "no" should be take to mean "no room" as opposed to "no good." Best of luck placing the story elsewhere, and best of luck with all your writing.<br />
