Here’s my rejection from The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. It’s a personal rejection letter, but F&SF always gives personal rejection letters so that’s not a terribly big deal. It is from the Editor in Chief, Gordon Van Gelder, and not some anonymous reader or junior editor, so maybe that’s a good thing or maybe he just happened to pick it up. My favorite parts, of course, are “story is ambitious” and “some interesting passages.” Which means the story is a failure, but an ambitious failure, and while there were a few well written sections they didn’t out weigh the poorly written passages surrounding them. A pretty good rejection, but my biggest problem is, I just don’t know where the story is going to go to now.
