As anticipated, the late arrival of the speculative elements in “Glow Baby” elicited a rejection. Sigh. Joni seems to be putting a personal touch on the rejections, crossing out “contestant” and writing in the name, as well as scribbling in an invitation to submit again. Nice of her.
Now it’s time to figure out a new place to try”Glow Baby”. Can’t let it just rest.

Only outright rejection I ever got from WotF was where there was no speculative element until early page three. That should be right on the guidelines…
Oh, I’m so sorry! Best of luck placing the story elsewhere, though.
