I received a rewrite request on a story that I sent to the Harrow. I am surprised at this. The story, Gremlins Over Normandy, is a light-weight piece. It is only 1900 words. The editors liked it, but thought that a few changes might make it a better story. I am faced with the dilemma of taking the time to rewrite a story that I’m not fond of, or forgo a possible sale on a story that I had considered trunked.
Here’s a little of what editor Michael R. Colangelo said:

Thanks for submitting ‘Gremlins Over Normandy’ to The Harrow. We’re going to pass, but I’d like to suggest a bit of a rewrite and (hopefully) see a resubmittal from you… I think the style actually lends itself to the story… Gives it a bit of a pulp flavor, which supports the theme quite well.

I love the pulp flavor comment because that is exactly what I was going for. Hey Arthur, would you like to do the rewrite?
They have a smeerp-ish slush management system at The Harrow. I submitted there mostly because I wanted to check out their system. Their response was 55 days – way too long. One would think that the automated system would speed things up.
