Dear [First name],

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.

All the best,

Ted Hodgkinson

Thanks for your submission to MAR, and for your patience in awaiting a response.

This is a story I kept around so that my staff could discuss upon their return to campus this fall. While a lot of nice things were said, and the story had some support, I'm sorry to say that we are not accepting it for publication.

We do wish you luck in placing it elsewhere, and hope you try us again in the future.
