Dear —,

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

We received a large number of contributions from writers around the world. The process of selecting work for publication is very challenging and we've had to make some difficult decisions.

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.

Kind regards, Jen Scott Editor
