Dear [writer],

Thank you for your patience as we read through the many Fiction manuscripts submitted to us. While we haven't made a final decision, we're happy to say that your work is still in the running. We expect to have a decision in the coming weeks.

Thank you again for submitting, and for your support of Fence.

All best,

<blockquote>Dear —,

Thank you for submitting "Your Story" to The Malahat Review. Unfortunately, our editorial board has decided not to accept this work for publication. We receive many hundreds more submissions than we can possibly publish, and since mid-March 2020 the rate and quality of submissions has increased markedly.

We are sorry that we are not contacting you with better news, but thank you for thinking of the magazine as a good home for your writing. We wish you success in placing your work elsewhere.

'''2019'''
<blockquote>Dear —,

Thank you for submitting "Poetry Submission" to The Malahat Review.

We are unable to accept your work for publication this time around.

We are sorry that we are not contacting you with better news, and also to be notifying you by way of a form letter — the sheer (and increasing) number of submissions makes it impossible for a small magazine (reliant on volunteer labour) to respond personally to all submissions.

Thank you for thinking of the magazine as a good home for your writing. We wish you success in placing your work elsewhere.

The Malahat Review acknowledges with respect the Lkwungen-speaking peoples on whose traditional territory the University of Victoria stands, and the Songhees, Esquimalt, and WSÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
