Boo hiss.  More rejections.

I’ve gotten three since my last update.  One the night before my vacation started, one during, and one shortly after I got back.  Each of them were form letters.  So, that makes a total of ten rejections.  Two more for “Jenny Kissed Me” and one more for “Jenny of Lebanon”.

Rejection #8 – from West Branch

Dear Gabrielle Olexa:

We appreciate your interest in the journal, and we wish you the best in your writing.

Rejection # 9 – from New England Review (I was most bummed about this one.)

Dear Gabrielle Olexa,

Thank you for giving us the chance to read ” Jenny of Lebanon.” While we have found that it’s not a good fit for the New England Review, we wish you the best in placing it elsewhere and appreciate your interest in our magazine.

Sincerely,
The Editors
New England Review
