Having just received my first automated rejection email. I can’t help but wonder why agents can’t just write “This is is a piece of shit, please stop what you’re doing and go flip hamburgers for a living.” Are rejection letters formulated along the same lines as obituaries? Things that at first appear innocuous and pleasant but on closer inspection are actually thinly disguised insults for those in the know. Perhaps Evil Editor could shed some light on matter?
