Oxford American

Dear [Name],

Thank you for submitting "[Title]" to the Oxford American. We are sorry to report that we will not be publishing this story. It was a difficult task to select just one story—there were over five hundred submissions this year.

We are pleased to announce that Halle Hill’s "Bitch Baby” will be published in the next issue of the OA. This special double issue is dedicated to exploring Place and will be released in August. Find out more at oxfordamericangoods.org.

Again, thank you for your entry. If you remain eligible, we hope you will send us another story to consider next year.

All best,

The Editors
