Orion

Prose

Personal Rejection

Dear Blank,

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to consider your manuscript "Blank." This is a gripping and memorable story; the voice is strong and the narrative gritty, raw, and evocative.

This piece is not quite a fit for Orion, but please look for fiction forthcoming in the magazine and submit again in the future, if you would like.

We wish you the best in placing this work elsewhere and appreciate your consideration of our magazine as a home for your writing.

Sincerely,

Erica Dorpalen

for the Editorial Staff
