Dear NAME,

Thank you very much for letting us see "STORY." We appreciate your taking the time to send it in for our consideration. Although it does not suit the needs of the magazine at this time, we wish you luck with placing it elsewhere.

Please excuse this form letter. The volume of work has unfortunately made it impossible for us to respond to each submission individually, much as we’d like to do so.

Sincerely,

Sheila Williams, Editor Asimov’s Science Fiction

Dear NAME,

Thank you for letting me see "STORY." The story is lovely, but I’m afraid it's not quite right for me. I look forward to your next one, though.

Sincerely,

Dear AUTHOR,

We really enjoyed "TITLE," however it is not quite right for Asimov's. We wish you the best of luck placing it elsewhere, and hope to see more work from you in the future.

Dear [first name],

I lingered over "[title]," however ultimately felt it is not quite right for Asimov's. I wish you the best of luck placing it elsewhere, and hope to see more work from you in the future.

Sincerely,

Emily Hockaday, Assistant Poetry Editor Asimov’s Science Fiction www.asimovs.com
