Thank you for being patient while we read and consider your submission to BR. Pandemic pressures have significantly slowed down our response time, and we've been catching up with submissions as steadily as we can. We sincerely regret any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Unfortunately, we have decided against publishing your piece in BR. Please continue to think of us, and we wish you the best of luck in finding a home for your submission elsewhere.
