I sent a query to an online publication and was excited when the editor replied right away asking for a completed piece. I emailed her a couple of times with questions, and then sent her the article about a week later. I then received a generic rejection letter and I have no idea what went wrong.Is it appropriate to email the editor just to ask for a couple of brief suggestions of what I could have done differently? If she'd just sent the standard rejection to begin with I would have just moved on, but I feel like since I was actaually asked to write the piece that I at least deserve a short explanation for the rejection.
