Rejection notes – no.24 in a series

Dear Edoardo,

Thank you for letting me see “Far Trader.” I’m sorry it didn’t strike me as quite right for our present needs.

I rather like your style of writing and suggest that you try us again.

(It may be just as well this was rejected. Just after I sent the story off, my wife pointed out to me that a slight change in emphasis when reading the title would transform it into Fart Raider. Not quite the effect I was looking for!)
