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

We liked Church Fire

Thank you for your interest in Smartish Pace and for allowing us to read your poems. Unfortunately your poems were not selected for publication. We hope that you will consider sending poems to Smartish Pace again in the future (please note our policy of 1 submission per year; though you may also enter our contests) and support our independent publication by ordering our new issue or a subscription.

Maybe Letters - #1

Dear Jake Kilroy,

I'm very sorry that it's taken us forever to respond to your submission. We've been slogged with online submissions, and in fact have closed the gates until January 2010.

I'm also sorry to say that your poems weren't a good fit for us. We wish you the best of luck in placing them elsewhere.

Warm wishes from New Orleans,

Mark Yakich
Poetry Editor

Dear Mr. Kilroy,

I am sorry to say that we were not able to include any of your poems

Thank you for submitting your work to Plain Spoke.
The editors have considered your work carefully, but while it is
always a joy to read, we can't always fit everything in. Our
publication needs, the voice of the pieces, and the space available in
the publication often work against our desire to put all worthy
submissions into print. Ultimately, we cannot publish your work at
this time. We wish you all the best in your pursuits placing it
elsewhere, but keep us in mind in the future. You can find current
and back issues as well as other publications at
http://amsterdampress.etsy.com

Please don't forget to update submission status at
www.duotrope.com . If you don't already have an account there, we
recommend it. It's fabulous AND free. Not very often can you say
that.
