Susan Bright of Plain View Press is another moron she misconstrued my work completely. Are they suggesting we just all kill ourselves and get it over with. You read their work and it's not that good and they think they can squash people like bugs. I'm so angry I don't care they all drop dead or contract deadly diseases. They are a bunch of wastes of skin. It's because it is in the back of their minds that they will reject people just because they we're rejected and probably are still terrible writers themselves. It is so apparent that they are only pond scum sucking lit instructors they want people to quote their books and their DVDs, just die already the planet does not need ditch pigs like you.

They all want subscribers not writers. I had a heated exchange with the editor at future cycle. He is nothing but a pompous 3 initial turd who is probably a failed poet turned lit prof turned editor. I was offended by their website, join our contests and buy poetry bundles he is so full of himself. He called me a poetaster, incorrectly using the word mind you. Nothing in work is overly sentimental, i don't try to rhyme and I am naturally trying to be absurd it isn't an unintentional thing to humor. He rejected me flat out because I am Canadian and my last name because my work is good. he got so defensive he was personal with me and called the magazines that I was published in crap. I know I shouldn't start fights but his arrogance gets to you. RSK are his intitals like its a huge risk to send your work to him. We can all take rejection, but don't pretend you have read my work when you haven't. I don't need him and none of you do. At evening press they kind of said they were a little wrong posting their pay pal info as a link to the rejection letter. I know they are not rejecting me personally but when you question RSK about integrity he flies off the handle. I shouldn't get out of poetry he should quit editing. He tells me he loses money with his bundles what a jackass. I don't mind the rejection don't try to sell me something or pretend you've read my work is all I'm saying. I threatened I was going to post reviews of the magazine on the web and I am going through with it. I don't lie.JT Avoid magazines like future cycle and evening street press.

I thought I was better than that and I still do. Sometimes I feel personally assaulted. I read their damn publication and the hacks that are accepted and want to puke. Is it all about have a subscription, buying their how to manuals and enrolling in their courses is that what writing is about. The last two mentioned we are not rejecting you for the quality of your work. We have published writers with less ability who meet our criteria. The letters are getting longer and longer which may be a good sign. A couple people even initialed them in in pen. The odd having said that comment is also used. It's like a couple times when I asked a girl out and she said you're too goo good for me and I'll hurt you. Do people really mean what they are saying, do they assume I am that fragile for the truth. What is with all this BS. I have always been upfront with people and I get little in mutual feedback.Sincerely JT I did not think publishers would reject my poems so often.

They could very easily have blown you off. And a standard form rejection often has no name (Dear Author) and does not address your work by name, nor do they suggest you retain an agent. That's way above a standard form rejection letter or slip. See this as a VERY positive sign. What major place, can I ask? There is major and there is MAJOR. Didn't mean to butt in here, but since my blog is the same template and Larina and I are separated Siamese twins, I often speak up in here.
