Rejections like this honestly bring me so much joy—to know you’re on the right track with something you feel proud of is such a reassurance. Cannot wait to read the next pamphlet drop out of @littlebettybbp 🙏🏻

no more dear editors, no more dear [insert masthead], no more sir and madam, no more hi and hellos, no more sentences, no more emails, no more humans—scratch your writing on a post-it attached to a hot air balloon, addressed only with the words “To Whom It Will Concern”

Pride & Prejudice a lot less impressive when you realise Austen ripped off the plot of Bridget Jones
