Thank you for submitting your work to Kinpaurak. We’ve given it careful consideration, but we’ve decided to pass on this one.

Rejection is a cruel beast, but it doesn't have to be an unfamiliar one. If you’d like to better understand why we pass on certain pieces, we recommend checking out our “Why We Say No” page on our website.

While this piece wasn’t the right fit, we always encourage writers to keep sending us work that twists, unsettles, and gnaws at the edges of meaning. Maybe next time, we’ll meet again under stranger, more glorious circumstances.

Lastly, we apologize for the automated message. We have been slammed with a tsunami of submissions, and to review work with a consistent response rate of 0-48 hours, we must forgo the courtesy of sending personal messages.

May your refrigerator not start a revolution, KINPAURAK
