Aparrett: /* Fiction rejections */

== Fiction rejections ==

=== Standard ===

<blockquote>Dear —,

Thank you for submitting "—" to Gordon Square Review. While we appreciate the chance to read your work, we regret that we are unable to accept it for publication.

One of the unfortunate realities of literary publishing is that editors will always have to pass on a lot more work than they accept. As writers ourselves, we understand the frustration of rejection, but please know we appreciate your time and efforts and are honored you trusted us with your work.

Thanks again, and we wish you the best in placing your work elsewhere!

Best,
Laura Maylene Walter
Editor-in-Chief

Dear [submitter],

Thank you for submitting [story] to Gordon Square Review. While we found much to admire in your submission, we regret that we are unable to accept it for publication. We always receive far more submissions than we are able to accept, and as a result, we inevitably have to pass on a lot more work than we'd like.

Please note, however, that we did take special notice of your submission, so we'd love to read more of your work in the future. Please consider trying us again when our submissions reopen this summer.

Thank you again, and we wish you well during this stressful time of social distancing!

Best,
Laura Maylene Walter
