Rejection, rejection, rejection...

Got a couple more. We're up to 110 now.

A long 185-day form rejection from Short Fiction, a 9-day, somewhat long personal rejection from Beneath Ceaseless Skies (they are good with providing feedback!), and a disappointing message from Quills & Tales advising that they are shutting down for the foreseeable future. It's always sad to see a new magazine fold very early on.

"I want to sincerely thank you for submitting your work to Quills & Tales. It’s been a privilege to read and share in the creativity you’ve brought to the magazine.

Unfortunately, I need to let you know that Quills & Tales will be going on pause for the time being. This means we won’t be able to move forward with your submission. The decision comes down to a mix of personal and financial reasons, and while it wasn’t easy to make, it’s the best step for now.

I deeply appreciate the trust you placed in me by sharing your writing. I plan to return to this project in the future."
 
I’d withdrawn my submission to Quills & Tales but received the same email, and it’s sad indeed. They’d looked like a promising new market.
