Encore une fois.

 

 

Dear Anastasia Walker,

 

Thank you for submitting "The Monster in My Front Yard." We were glad to have the chance to read your work and were impressed by your writing. Unfortunately we were not able to find a place for it in the New England Review.

 

It’s an important part of our mission to seriously consider writing by new and emerging writers as well as by those we already know and love, so we read each piece with care. Because we are only able to publish a small percentage of the thousands of submissions we read each year, we often have to turn down very accomplished work.

 

If you haven't already, please consider staying in touch by signing up for occasional emails from NER.

 

Thanks again for sharing your work with us. Based on our reading of "The Monster in My Front Yard" we would like to see more from you in the future.

 

Sincerely,

The Editors

New England Review
