Guidelines for Rejection

This is beautiful. Joyland: A Hub for Short Fiction not only has submission guidelines; it also has rejection guidelines, which includes sections on "Should I be angry?" (answer: yes), and "How angry should I be?" (answer: it depends). I talso covers "What Should I Do Now?"

It's a very refreshing read. Thanks to The Review Review for tweeting this link.

Also, the Los Angeles Times has an article on Jack Gilbert. Sobering.
