Rejection notes – no.23 in a series

Thanks very much for sending this story to [...]. Unfortunately, it’s not quite right for us.  I really liked the setting and the sense of detail, and I felt an intriguing acuteness in Cavel’s tone and situation, but the exposition on the background felt slow of pace to me after the first couple paragraphs, and I didn’t feel as much of an acuteness or urgency develop in Cavel’s situation as I needed for the story to continue to hold my interest.

We appreciate your interest in our magazine.  Please feel free to submit other work in the future.

Regards,
