A rejection slip from 1970



Ed Ferman rejected a story of mine in 1970. The cool part (well, it wasn’t cool then, but cool 35 years later) is that it was typed on the back of a magazine cover. I found it while looking through my old notebooks.

I was 18 years old. I wrote the story on my girlfriend’s portable typewriter. It was very short. I think it was around 1800 words. If I find it, I’ll put it up here. I did not submit another story until 2003.
