Carina Press editor Angela James blogs about why publishers don’t often send personalized rejections. Well worth a read.
My favorite personalized rejection over the last year? “Your story made it to our ‘perhaps’ pile, but sadly we can’t publish them all.” It made me laugh. The editor also apologized for the length of time it took to receive a reply, which is always nice. (No, it wasn’t Angela James!)
Do you have a favorite personalized rejection line? Paraphrase it for me, baby.
