We regret to inform you that your submission to the FictionWeek Literary review was not accepted for the Fall 2009 issue. There are many reasons why a story or poem might not be accepted. Often it has nothing to do with the quality of the writing. For this issue, the submission committee tried to select a variety of topics and writing styles, but of the hundreds and hundreds of submissions we received, only a very few could be selected for the Fall 2009 issue. You are welcome to submit another story or poem for our Spring 2010 issue.

Dear Jake Kilroy:

Thank you for sending us "Took Two, Tricky, Churchfire". We really enjoyed this piece, but we didn't feel it was right for this issue.

We hope that you will continue to send us your work. Best of luck.

Sincerely,

The Editors of The Potomac Review
