I found this while cleaning out some papers on Sunday. I remember the handwriting more than I remember the situation of this particular rejection. Counterpoint...so must have been a book-length submission, probably nonfiction. The note says:
"I am sorry not to have been taken with this but these are subjective matters, and I do wish you luck in finding a suitable house for this work." (Note that he does not capitalize the personal pronoun "I." Hmmm.)
might want to make it big enough to read...
ReplyDeleteI can't read it even when I click on it. Could you type out what it says? That's interesting that it's handwritten!
ReplyDeleteYou are so fortunate to have handwritten responses. I stand at 45 rejections and I haven't had a single written response. The majority of mine have been form rejections. At least when they're hand written you can probably assume they've skimmed your entire query.
