Well, GFT Press doesn’t want the four poems I sent.
They zapped over the rejection letter the day before Thanksgiving. I guess they didn’t want me worrying about whether my work would be accepted during my holiday dinner, which very well could have given me indigestion.
It was a nice rejection letter, though. They even spelled my name right, which made me feel particularly friendly toward them.
They encouraged me to submit work in the future, and signed off with a “Best of luck!”
With an exclamation point, mind you. Like my dear Emily Dickinson and her wild and exuberant exclamation points.

Happy holiday, everyone.
Oh, I’m sorry, but we all get plenty of those haha. I love the way they always manage to send over the rejection emails on Sundays and at the holidays, just when you want to relax. Ugh.

I know, Luanne! Never a dull moment, eh? Happy holidays to you, and hope you get in some writing time, too.

The do seem to clear their desks just before a holiday, don’t they? I guess they don’t give a thought to how it might be received…
As Emily might say, Have a happy Thanksgiving anyway!

Ha, ha, Kevin, they probably did think of it as mere desk cleaning. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving, down there in the sunny climates. I’m flying through TF and can’t get enough. Kind of falling in love with Henry, and Tilly has a place in my heart, too.

Each rejection is one stepping stone closer to the “yes.” At least they gave you an exclamation point. 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving, Cinthia.
