Another Rejection

Glimmer Train

Another post card arrived today and a rejection letter. Both from Glimmer Train.  For unpublished authors Glimmer Train is a good place offering great pay, good exposure, and a fair chance to get published.

At the top of the rejection letter is a quote from Melanie Bishop (presumably the one at Prescott College who started Alligator Juniper Magazine as opposed to the one who published "Effect of ascorbic acid on hydraluronidase inhibitor" in Nature in 1975):
          "Each rejection puts you that much closer to an acceptance. I read somewhere that Steinbeck received seventy six rejection letters before his first acceptance."
