First Rejection on Story # 2

And 36 hours after submitting it - a rejection.

Anniken -- 

Thanks for the submission. Unfortunately we're going to have to pass on "Hjemmelandet." It's just not quite what we're looking for right now. 

Best of luck in placing your story elsewhere.

Another Record Fast Rejection

Rejection #2 -This one quicker yet - a mere 16 hours. But, hey, look at that encouraging note - “please consider submitting again” - yeah, OK as soon as I write another scary short short. Here is the rejection: Anniken, Thank you for submitting your story "The Scoop" for publication in WitchWorks Magazine. However, I am going to pass on this story at this time. It simply didn't grab my attention as some of the other submissions did. Thank you and please consider submitting again.  Sincerely, Noah C. Patterson Editor-in-Chief WitchWorks Magazine
