Praise for Nick Edinger…
from the people who rejected his stuff
I had a good time reading it. I like the way you actively looked for ways to include imagery from the game, and had characters reference units during battle. The characters… were still very engaging…
― Hengtee Lim, writer and editor, for my first pitch to Everyst
…your work did reach the final round.
― The Editors at great weather for MEDIA, twice
I thought that your story was memorable; the idea was incredibly surreal and surprising, and your characterization, well done.
Lee Mackenzie, editor at Neon
… I enjoyed reading your piece… We really liked the structure of this piece, and it’s definitely a different take on the fisherman tale.
Kay Allen, founding editor of Sword & Kettle Press
I thought that the story had an underlying premise that was surreal and dark. The reveal at the end worked well.
Lee, editor at Neon Books
I love the unconventional narration of the story; it’s fun, interesting. Nice work!
Amy L. Clark, novelist and reader at Fractured Lit
… we enjoyed reading it (it remains so sinister and unsettling, even or especially in a format like terms and conditions)…
Editorial Team, Archive of the Odd
we truly enjoyed reading it (it’s a strong piece really speaks well to the oral history format),
Editorial Team, Archive of the Odd (different submission)
“…we would like you to know your work was shortlisted for the issue. We found it really well written and it was a tough decision…”
Sinéad Creedon and Aisling Kearney, editors at Sonder Magazine
We enjoyed reading your work quite a bit… We did admire this submission, and are certainly open to seeing more in the future.
― Gabriel Dozal, assistant poetry editor at DIAGRAM, for a poem that was “rejected but with some love”
This was our fav of the bunch; sorry to pass on work that interested us.
Ander Monson, editor at DIAGRAM
We really enjoyed your story… We did find much to admire in your work…
Tommy Dean, editor at Uncharted Magazine
… yours was one of many high-quality submissions we received…
Lauren Slawson, Associate Editor at Electric Spec
While we truly enjoyed reading it (it’s a strong piece really speaks well to the oral history format)…
Cormack Baldwin, editor at Archive of the Odd
This is a nice idea and I think you’re doing a good job exploring it…
James Folta, managing editor
at Points in Case
This is a really interesting idea, and the form of the poem fits its subject.
Jeff Georgeson, Managing Editor at Penumbric Speculative Fiction Magazine
All three of these are clever ideas, and we wanted to urge you to keep refining them… These are most of the way there, but each needs one more ingredient to shine. Keep at it!
The Fiction Editors at Sundog Lit
Our apologies if this is in any way discouraging. Keep up the good work, and we look forward to considering future submissions from you whenever they’re ready.
“We wanted to let you know, though, that we really appreciated your highly inventive use of form.”
Editorial Team, The Fiddlehead
