laviviOn April fourth, I sent in The Kite Flyers to The New Yorker submission email.
Yesterday, at 11:39 a.m., I receieved a response, which was composed of two lines.
We regret that we are unable to use the enclosed material. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to consider it.
The Editors
Disappointed? Naturally. Really disapppointed? No. How weird would it be if I got published on my very first try, and yet all of the really great authors - Stephen King, for example - didn't make it on their first try?
I'll send it in somewhere else - to a slightly less prestigious literary magazine. And I think I'm being forced to write some more this summer.
