Here's one I got via e-mail:
"this one is good, but too long for us! Generally we print 10000 words or less. Well written though and we hope you find a home for it. Feel free to submit something shorter to us at any time."
My response:
"
"our mistake, can you send it again as a word attachment for consideration? Give us a week or two."
Do you think they even read it?
What genius rejections have you gotten?
