Dear first-name,

Thank you for submitting [Titles] to Empty House Press. Unfortunately, this submission is not right for us, but we are very grateful for the chance to read your work.

As writers ourselves, we acknowledge how challenging it can be to receive a form decline. We recognize how much time and energy goes into each piece we read, and we understand that writing itself is a complex and often very personal process. Though we, as a small editorial staff, are unable to write individual responses in return, please know we very much appreciate you sharing your words with us.

We hope you'll keep us in mind for the future, and we wish you the very best.

Sincerely,

Cara Downey & Erin Calabria Founding Editors Empty House Press
