Terasa Nielsen Hayden, editor at Tor (whose husband Patrick Nielsen Hayden is also an editor at Tor - in fact he is the enlightened editor of Cory Doctorow), posted a fantastic riposte, or rejoinder, to a bunch of authors’-responses-to-rejection-letters from RejectionCollection.com. Her long and involved post, found here, contains much wisdom, much hilarity, and a little bit of horror, and should be read by anybody interested in becoming an editor, or indeed an author! (Or indeed a slush-pile-reader…)

   hey, i went to that rejection letters thing, some of them are pretty funny. thanks for the email :)
   i’d like to think i’m an internet veteran but there’s been a few dry patches… and I really need to get back into design. my blog has gone to crap.

   I won’t be bagging any aolers, but these days the equivelant (over here anyway) is msn users. Especially in the communities… never have there been such an influx of teenyboppers. *sigh*
