On July 3rd 2012 I submitted two poems to an
online literary journal called Rose & Thorn. On Monday September 17th 2012 I finally
received the e-mail. Was I accepted or
not? There was excitement before I opened the e-mail, though, not too much. Rejection is always possible, and I am
reconciled to this fact. Here is a quote
from the e-mail, “Although it was not selected for publication, we wanted to let
you know that your poem “The Walking Man and The Orange Hand” did make it to our final round of readings for its cleverness and wit.” As far as rejection letters go it is nice to
know where I stand, and this is ONE very nice rejection letter. It makes me glad inside to know I have an audience to be more specific to make people see what I see.
How is the submission process working for you whatever the literary form/genre etc?
