This was highly entertaining, and is the cleanest manuscript I've seen thus far that has come in. I would love to accept this. He is a stunning writer and beyond the modicum of what I've been recently reading, (including big names)

(Publisher), you have a great science fiction novel here from Mr. Stevenson. I would say yes.

KEWL! It's about time you sent in a clean submission - they've had quite enough of those special brownie crumbs, thank you very much!

:D

Holy crap! Where do I get me a letter like that? Wonderful and, I'm sure, well deserved. Congratulations!

Congrats!

When I was going to start making submissions, I was going to take the manuscript to a friends house so their kids could read it in the morning while eating peanut butter and jelly toast.

It makes so much more sense to send it to them clean! :hooray:

Seriously, nice work! :D
