The Sword and Scales: Your on-line repository of crime and justice
Issue 6.4
Greetings, Loyal Reader:
It is my sad duty today to pass along a spot of bad news. I don’t care to provide commentary, so please find following, in its entirety, a letter that I recently received from a national publication. I believe it speaks for itself:
Dear Mr. Whitlowe,
We have very much enjoyed speaking with you over the past several weeks about the possibility of your blog becoming a permanent column with [omitted] Magazine. We are sorry to say at this time that [omitted] Magazine is not able to bring you on as an on-going contributor. It is our feeling that the tone of your writing is not in keeping with the spirit of our publication. Your voice is a bit “personal” and the writing feels too close to the subject material.
[omitted] Magazine feels that you have a great career ahead of you, and we encourage you to keep writing. Please feel free to check in with us from time to time and submit any new ideas that you may have.
Best of luck,
[omitted]
