So great to receive some specific editorial comment:
Dear John Paul:
Thank you so much for submitting your work to the Copper Nickel.
The entire fiction staff really admires “Rabbit Story.” However, we are a
little confused about what happens to the young girl who dies in
childbirth, a little confused about the timeline of the story the uncle
tells, and the last paragraph or two seems a little tidy to us. We would
love to accept the story if you would be willing to consider some minor
revisions. If not, we hope you will consider sending us some more work in the near future.
Best-
Jennifer S. Davis
Dear John Paul:
I am thrilled to hear that you are willing to consider revisions. I would
like for two of the head fiction editors to provide me comments about
their confusion/concerns, and then I will send you a collated list. It
should take two to three weeks. Will that work for you?
Thank you again!
Jennifer
Congrats once again, John Paul. I remember seeing the Rabbit Story here a few months ago, but I can’t find it now. When did you post it?
I just posted the revision of it. Maybe you can help me. I am stumped with revision. I either need a major change or something slight I haven’t thought of yet.
