An Author’s Note

Every week, on average, we receive notes from contributors thanking us for our review readers’ and editors’ feedback. We’re told it’s rare to find real people on the Internet who actually pay attention to writers’ efforts. The following, received last week, also contains some sound advice to all writers.

Wow! Thank you for the insightful feedback and quick response. I didn’t realize how vague the story had become after gutting the heck out of it. My own knowledge of what was going on may have blinded my judgment and made me commit the sin of forgetting the reader. Every single comment was helpful. I will keep all these in mind during future endeavors. Thank you again! Best rejection I have ever received.

And thank you, in return. We’re glad to know we’re on the right track!
