Gentle writer:
Thank you for offering your work for consideration at ZYZZYVA. I regret to say that we do not have a place for your work at this time. Please forgive us for returning your work, and for doing so without further comments or suggestions.
I would like to say something to make up for this ungraciousness, but the truth is we have so little space, we must return almost all of the work that is submitted, including a great deal that interests us and even some pieces we admire. Inevitably, too, we make mistakes.
So the important thing is this: we hope you won't be discouraged, by this or any other momentary setback.
Wishing you all the best with your work.
Yours, Laura Cogan
