Over the past three issues, Apricity has received hundreds of submissions from people all around the world. Regardless of our final submission decision, we are so honored to read through every single submission we receive! Thank you to everyone who has submitted some of your incredible work to this little magazine; it means the world to us!
Unfortunately, we don't have the space to publish everything that is submitted to us. And to be honest, we wouldn't necessarily want to. The beauty of a lit mag is that it's carefully curated, and while that curation is inherently subjective to the editors, the finished product is a beautiful compilation of everything that fit for that particular issue.
As an artist and writer myself, I understand how awful it is to open up a submission decision email just to find out that my work wasn't accepted. But I don't take them personally, and I do my best to not let them make me feel like any less of a writer. That's not to say that I don't struggle with feeling a little dejected after a rejection, but I have learned that rejections make me a much better writer. If you ever have any questions as to why your work wasn't published with Apricity, send us an email at [email protected] and we would love to have that conversation with you.
Thank you again to everyone who has submitted! We can't wait to see what Issue 4 has in store for us.
Warmly,
