The Granta submission guidelines indicate that works might be passed on to the online editor for consideration for publication on the website. It appears that Online Editor Ted Hogkinson writes personal notes for works that he rejects.

Dear [First name],

Thank you for submitting your story [title of story] to Granta. I liked this story a lot. You write very evocatively, the tastes and the smells in the story, the sense of intimacy, all come right off the page with great feeling and precision. Unfortunately we won’t be publishing this piece but please do send me other stories that you’d like us to consider.

All the best,

Ted Hodgkinson
