been submitting to this mag when i was a younger writer and kept getting rejected. took a break in 2021 and this year i submitted a short story. still rejected (sad! bc this piece is always shortlisted/going to next rounds but rejected in the end) but i was pleasantly surprised by the personal note. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1090189025857515580/1245445357236912208/Screenshot_20240530_015644_Gmail.jpg?ex=6658c6e0&is=66577560&hm=b28f0db02223a0868e2c2dfba1a0b38cef11c275053cdee4d836beb00f78b114&
