Letter this evening:
“We’ll be including ‘Yellow Cat and the Man’ in the FACF chapbook. I’ll be
looking over the accepted pieces closely over the next couple of weeks,
and if I have any editing questions about your story I’ll let you know.”
For those of you in the know, “Yellow Cat and the Man” was my tribute to our Toby, who died over Christmas vacation in 2006. I wrote it first as carthasis for myself and Bryon. When a poetry chapbook for Friends of the Animal Center Foundation asked for submissions, I trimmed it down and sent it off. The chapbook is to raise money for the center, and I’m happy to be part of it. I’d be happy to tell you how to get it, to help out a good cause, once I know. Of course, my work is a donation in this case. Toby was a rescued cat, and it’s only right his story should help others like him.
Closing off the message, I’m noting a rejection from Kirsten Wolf. Just noting. Honestly, most agents write nice rejection letters.
