Jackshoegazer: /* Prose rejections */

"Slice, a Brooklyn-based nonprofit print magazine, was launched in 2007 and has since garnered rave reviews from some of today’s leading authors, editors, and agents. In each issue, a specific cultural theme becomes the catalyst for articles and interviews from renowned writers and lesser known voices alike. Along with these pieces, we publish fiction and poetry that isn’t bound by the theme—we simply look for works by writers who promise to become tomorrow’s literary legends."

Thanks so much for giving us the opportunity to consider your work for Slice. Due to the high volume of submissions we receive, we regret that we aren’t able to respond to each submission personally. We’ve been thoroughly impressed by the quality of the work that we’ve received. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to include your piece in our next issue of Slice. We’d love to consider more of your work in the future, though, so please do continue submitting to us.

Best wishes,

Dear [First Name],

Thank you for sending us ‘[Submission Title]’,
We really appreciated the opportunity to read your work, but unfortunately this story didn’t make our final cut.

We only publish a very small percentage (less than 1%) of the submissions we receive.

Thanks again for sending us your story and for supporting independent presses. Our first issue is coming out soon…ish. We hope you’ll enjoy it and try us again some time.

Best of luck with your writing, [First Name].

Warm regards,

Thank you for sending us '[storytitle]'. Sorry that it has taken us a while to get back to you. We really appreciated the opportunity to read your work, but unfortunately this one didn't make our final cut. The magazine mogul life is usually all bling and champagne breakfasts but one of the downers is that we can't take all the pieces that deserve to be published.

Good luck with your story, in other words, and sorry we can't give you more specific feedback. It's a tough game out there, we know. If you are still feeling nice things for us and want to try us again, please send us some work in a few weeks time. Thanks for supporting independent presses.

Warm regards,
Harriet
