Thank you for submitting "_____." With just the two of us reading all stories ourselves, it is not possible to provide specific feedback, I'm afraid, but I can tell you that, while we won't be publishing this piece, it was a good read—thank you!

Thank you for sending us 'Title.' We appreciated the chance to read it. Unfortunately, your piece is not quite right for us. The pathos are great, but there wasn't enough tension despite where the story lead the reader to.
Please consider submitting to us again, for our Spring issue?
Thanks again. Best of luck with this!
