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
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.
