It was a rejection letter from Sci-Fi.com. Unfortunately, Father Dillon's Funeral will not be gracing that site anytime soon. But, it may somewhere else. And i suppose that a science fiction story would have been more approriate than a zombie ohrror story, but hey, i tried.
Maybe i will ahve more luck next time.
Oddly, it didnt really bother me all that much.

well, you cant ever expect a 1st effort to get picked up.
Its a bitch getting someone to even look at your work. You usually need representation ..
Even on the lowest rung of the ladder you need an agent.
I have a friend who tried to get a Hockey book published and no one would even look at the guy - they want to deal with middlemen - to filter out the yahoos first.
In the same way big companies would rather deal with headhunters than a free for all hiring ...
Have you looked into any books on the publishing process ?
