Prose Rejections

Standard (All Accounts & Mixture feature)

Dear _________,

Thank you kindly for allowing us to consider "Title." Unfortunately, we were unable to place it in CutBank's feature, "All Accounts and Mixture." We received a remarkable number of submissions for this special project and due to a limited time frame, can only publish a handful.

We appreciate your support for our series and hope you'll follow along. We also wish you our very best with your writing in the future.

All best, All Accounts Editors

Dear —,

Thank you for the opportunity to consider your work for the CutBank 92/93 submission period. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit Cutbank's needs at this time. We wish you the best of luck placing it elsewhere.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to read ["title"]. While we very much enjoyed your work, after careful consideration, we've decided we don't have a place for this manuscript. We hope you'll send us more work in the future.

This is not our customary rejection. We hope you'll keep us in mind, and look forward to reading more from you.

Kind regards,
