I sincerely apologize for our long delay in responding. It's inexcusable, and I hope we have not lost you as a potential contributor or reader.
Thank you for sending us ---. We appreciate you thinking of The Austin Review when you decided where you'd like to place your work.
While we enjoyed several aspects of your work, unfortunately it's not a fit for us. This was not an easy decision, and I do hope we can see other work by you. All of us read and discussed your story several times over an extended period and were all impressed by it.
Again, we would welcome (and be honored by) the opportunity to read and consider future work you might have.
Best of luck with your writing and thank you again.
Sincerely, The Austin Review
