Group Publishing: Incredible Things Won't Happen Here - Creativity Not Welcome

Impersonal "personalized" rejection form letter #1

August 24, 2009 Dear Christopher: Thanks for submitting your proposal for Gardenialand Bible Adventures. Unfortunately, the proposal doesn't fit with our current publishing needs. Please don't let this discourage you. We consider several factors when deciding whether or not to pursue a project. For example, our current line-up may be full, the timing of your project may not fit with our present needs or market, or a similar project may have already been submitted. We appreciate you taking the time to submit your ideas for our consideration. Please keep us in mind as you continue to create new book ideas. We'd love to see your creativity at work! Best wishes as you continue a career in publishing. And thanks for sharing Group's concern for the church! Sincerely, Proposal Review Team
