Rejection 143
Peter Slapnicher
At AWP, on the last day, I was standing at the Fairy Tale Review, when a very kind and pretty lady named Sarah Blackman recognized my name. She was from Diagram, and said that she remembered my name from my submissions and that I should keep sending work because she liked what I was doing. I felt fancy and special and immediately sent them work.
Yesterday I got a rejection from them that was not the encouragement rejection letter I've gotten the past few times. It is just the rejection letter.
