Blue Mesa Review

2016-01-28T18:26:31Z

Smermels: /* Standard(?) */

"Blue Mesa Review is a literary magazine put out annually by the creative writing department at the University of New Mexico. We accept submissions of fiction, poetry, and creative non-fiction from all over the country."

== Prose Rejections ==

===Probably Standard===

'''2011'''

<blockquote>
Thank you for sending us “Title of Story”. Thank you for sharing your work with us. We gave it careful consideration. Blue Mesa Review relies heavily on stories and poems like yours, since most of what we publish comes to us unsolicited. Unfortunately, we will not be accepting this piece in our next issue. But please feel free to send us more work in the future; our tastes change, as it has over the years, and we're always looking.

Thanks again for your efforts and for letting us see your work.

All the best in placing it elsewhere.

Sincerely,

Blue Mesa Review

Thank you for sending your work to Blue Mesa Review. Although the work is inspiring, we decided that it does not meet our needs at this time. We wish you the best of luck in your publishing endeavors and hope that you will consider submitting to Blue Mesa Review in the future.
