Dear (Name),

Thank you for trusting us with your work. While we read "(Story Title)" with quite a bit of interest, and found much to admire in your work, we must unfortunately decline. Please remember that selecting work for a literary magazine is an inherently subjective process. Though "(Story Title)" was not quite right for us, we believe you will find the right home for this piece soon.

We hope that you will keep reading Revolution House and consider us again in the future. We look forward to reading more of your work.

Kindest regards,

Alisha Karabinus / Executive Editor / Revolution House
