Sorry for the huge delay! We’ve needed a lot of time—too long—to catch up and we’ve finally made it there. We enjoyed reading your submission and it’s a privilege to have it considered for PANK, but it’s not right for our next issue. Please try us again soon, though! We enjoyed your work and would love to see more. Thanks!

Hi [Name],

First of all, thank you for sending us "Title." We thought you'd like to know it made it to second round of reading, which is not easy to do. Though we don't think the work is right for PANK at this time, we do hope you'll send us something again in the future.

PANK loves you!!

Dear [Name],

Thank you for sending us "[Title]".

It's taken us some time to respond, because we read every manuscript we receive. We thought you'd like to know that though we can't offer publication at this time, it did make it through to our final reading round and we wanted you to know.

You're invited to come and party with us anytime.

Sincerely,
