"Dear Amtrak Residency Applicant,
On behalf of Amtrak, I’d like to thank you for submitting your application. The response from the literary community has been absolutely tremendous and we are very grateful to have had the opportunity to read so many heartfelt applications. We had over 16,100 applications and had the difficult challenge to select only 115 semi-finalists. The quality of applications was high, which made our decisions even tougher. We evaluated each applicant based on the quality and completeness of their application package, as well as the extensiveness of their social community and ability to reach online audiences with content.
After carefully reviewing all the applicant packages, I regret to inform you that your package was not selected to move forward in this year’s residency selection process."
Well, the Amtrack thing didn't come through. This is the nice email they sent informing me of the bad news. At least they didn't complain about the format, spelling, or grammar on my application.:)

Got a one star review for Sometimes We Ran in the NOOK bookstore. Like Amtrack, there was no mention of bad spelling or grammar. The one star doesn't make me too mad. I'm just glad someone is actually reading it on their NOOK!:)
