Dear —,

Thank you for sending your submission, ‘—’, to Firewords. Unfortunately we were unable to include your contribution.

The Firewords team really enjoyed reading your submission. However, the theme you've chosen to submit is one that we see quite regularly. Because of the high volume of similar submissions, we’re looking for a higher degree of originality to make this kind of piece really stand out.

We appreciate your interest in our publication and the time you took to submit.
