Your submission has been read by at least two of our members of our staff. I'm sorry to tell you that, after careful consideration, we have decided that your book does not meet our needs.

We thank you for thinking of Swimming Kangaroo Books and hope you will keep us in mind for future submissions.


*sigh*

EDIT: Looking over that letter this morning...

Your submission has been read by at least two of our members of our staff.

Am I the only one who finds that redundent? And if that's spelled wrong, gimme a break, it's not even six a.m yet.

I keep reminding myself that F.X. Toole, who wrote the short story collection containing Million Dollar Baby recieved rejection letters for forty years before he finally got published. *sigh* Thanks babes.
