Thanks for letting us read your story “TITLE.” We gave it careful consideration, but did not think it best suited to any of the spaces we currently have open. We hope you’ll soon find the right publication for the story, and that you will continue to think of EQMM when you have new work.

With best wishes,

Dear [Author],

Thank you for letting us see "[Name of Story]." This story came close, but in the end we did not think it the best choice for any of the few spots we currently have open.

Do try us again sometime.

"With so many things competing for your attention in this increasingly digital world, it can be tough to figure out what to read next—especially if you are looking for fresh voices and new perspectives. That’s why we created Day One, a literary journal dedicated to short fiction from debut writers, English translations of stories from around the world, and poetry. Day One showcases just one writer and poet each week, with issues delivered directly to Kindles or Kindle reading apps. Each issue of Day One includes a letter from the editor, as well as occasional bonus content such as playlists, illustrations, or brief interviews with the authors."

Dear [writer's name],

Thanks so much for submitting to Day One! I really appreciate your support and interest, as well as your patience while I considered your work. Unfortunately, I’m going to pass on this story, but I wish you the best with your writing and hope you’ll think of us in the future. Thanks again for submitting!

All my best,

Dear "Writer Name,"

I read these with interest and am truly sorry to say no--we're outrageously overstocked with poetry at the moment and taking very little. I liked the __________________ best, for whatever that's worth....Please do remember us for future work.

Best,
