A rejection from my favorite magazine

Freckles · Nov 9, 2006

So this rejection seemed to sting a bit more than the others. I got an email yesterday from an editor at Glamour magazine, saying my article won't fit for the magazine.

This was the one magazine I was hoping to break into, so I'm a little bummed.

I just thought I'd share my woe with you all...

Sorry to hear it, Freckles. Keep on writing and I bet you'll crack that nut soon!

*Offers kleenex and chocolate. * You have my sympathy.Glamour's a pretty big magazine. It might be better to st art with a smaller one.

Hey, I'd say you're doing great. You actually got a response. Not everyone does. Keep at it! :Thumbs:

Yeah, but when something shuts in your face, another thing opens up. For years I tried to get into Rod Serling's Twilight Zone magazine, but to no avail. But a twist of fate intervened to land me two pubs in Amazing Stories. Now THAT I did not expect. And it actually worked out better in my favor.

Kudos for trying, Freckles. Keep going; the breakthrough will surely come. It's only a matter of time.

Glamour, wow! Good for you for even having the guts to send it in!

Don't let it get you down, and when you finish your next piece, send it in too!

Hey, you're still closer to an acceptance than those of us who never submitted to them. Good for you for giving it a go. Better luck next time!

Thanks, Pat! I never thought of it like that!
