Dear John: Your Gospel does not meet our current needs
To: John
From: Harold Sniveling, Acquisitions Editor
Re: Your submission
Our editorial team has had the opportunity to work through your manuscript. Your “Gospel” does not fit our publishing needs at this time. While undeniably sincere, the work is marred by undeveloped characters, uneven plot, choppy style and numerous digressions. To be more specific, I include below our reader’s report.
