Just Say No

Editor and writer Brian Doyle has a funny essay at The Kenyon Review blog about receiving rejection letters and about writing them. Having a view from both sides of the process, Doyle merrily comments on and remembers the best rejection letters he's seen, as well as discuses the heartbreaks an editor goes through when rejecting certain pieces. We all know the heartbreak of the writer receiving the rejection; now see it from the other side, with someone who never forgets our side too.
