Hi XXX,

Thank you for your submission.

Unfortunately, we are unable to move forward with your submission at this time. While we think your piece is interesting (especially XXX), it does not reach the level of impact we would want. Perhaps you can consider XXX or XXX, which can make your piece more XXX. Please note that our feedback reflects a subjective editorial interpretation, and we apologize if it does not align with your intentions for the piece.

That said, we love your craft as a writer, and we hope you can resubmit in the future. We would also appreciate it if you could sign up for our free newsletter (https://exclamationmarklit.com/newsletter-from/). That way, you’ll be notified of our calls for submission and be able to read some good pieces. It really means a lot to us.

Best, The editors
