"Rejection Notes #1: Norman Mailer" @ BULL Men's Fiction

I’m writing a series of fake rejection letters for BULL. Each piece will feature a famous writer. First up is Norman Mailer:



Dear Mr. Mailer,



Yes. We received the vial of saliva and lock of hair. Thank you. However, our rejection has nothing to do with us doubting your identity. We just didn’t feel this particular piece was a good fit for Highlights for Children. We enjoyed much of the story (the scene where the woman is performing fellatio is very well-written), but we are targeting a certain demographic, and we don’t think the overt sexuality and more contemplative themes of this piece are appropriate for our readership. We encourage you to submit again in the future.
