REJECTIONS

I thought I would share my rejections for all to see.  All writers, even the greatest, have been rejected, and I thought I would share mine with you on my never ending quest for publication. 
*I've chosen not to include the names of publishers or agents.

From my short story submission to a magazine, April 30, 2017

Dear Jason, 

Thank you for sending us "Tom Gomesh Tells a Story". We appreciate the chance to read it, but we've decided not to accept it for publication. Please don't be discouraged by the form letter; due to the volume of submissions (our magazine) receives, we send form letters for all stories we are not accepting. 

Thanks again. Best of luck with this.
