Funny (and a little sad) response received from query

[espresso]

Hi; just had to communicate this somewhere! I received the following response to a perfectly good query:

"Very few queries have a chance to become articles. Yours, unfortunately, isn't one of them."

I've rec'd much nicer responses from much larger magazines. It makes one want to go out and write a best-seller!!!

To administrator: can we move this to "freelancing?" Don't know how! Thx

Yeesh, that seems needlessly harsh... what was the magazine?

[espresso]

Heavily ironic -- "Chr ------ Today." Ah, well. That's why I'd like to publish an e-book; see there if u wish . .

At least it is a response. Kind of snarky, but a response. You submitted and that is half the battle. Just go on to another publication.
