I'veBeenBreakingGlassInYourRoomAagain: /* Standard */

Yemassee publishes all genres and forms of writing, including poetry, fiction, drama, nonfiction, reviews, and interviews. We publish in the fall and spring, printing three to five stories and twelve to fifteen poems per issue. We tend to solicit reviews, essays, and interviews but welcome unsolicited queries. We do not favor any particular aesthetic or school of writing. Quality of writing is our only concern.

Unfortunately, we could not place your work at this time, but please think of us again in the future. Recent issues have featured many authors who continued submitting work to us until we received something that suited Yemassee.

It always helps to be familiar with the journal, so please consider ordering a subscription or sample copy, or stop by our new website at www.yemasseejournalonline.org to view our issues archive. Upcoming fiction and poetry contests are also listed on the site, including the William Richey Fiction Contest, judged by George Singleton, now open till Nov. 15th, with a $1000 prize.

Thanks again for the chance to read your work. Best of luck with this.

Sincerely,

The Editors

Maybe a new standard?
<blockquote>
Dear --,

Thank you for letting us read your story, '----' Unfortunately, we are not able to accept it for publication at this time. We receive thousands of submissions each year, and we must reject many fine stories, and this rejection does not mean that your story is without merit.

We wish you the best in placing it elsewhere.

Best Wishes, The Fiction Editors
