Happy to be able to post a new rejection. A quick turnaround on this (six days or so). This was an old story that, upon reflection, has some holes in it that I might stop up before sending it out again. I try not to do that until I get to 10 rejections (this piece only has four), but since I wrote it eight months ago, I might have something new to say about this story in a fresh draft. Usually, my edits after that much time, however, tend to be massive cuts. Might not be a bad thing, actually. Anyway, on to the rejection:

Thank you for your submission to the Bards and Sages Quarterly. Unfortunately, it does not meet our needs.

Sincerely,
Julie Ann Dawson

Onward!
