I love it when a publisher leaves a feedback

No matter how harsh it it, feed-backs are gold!

Nope they're not. I could tell because they don't ask for a reading fee and the high rejection rates prove they are serious with stories. They also pay writers a small amount. It is a short story magazine and I could give the link if you like.

@Mamerto32 A vanity press will take drivel and nonsense. I have read some of it. A real publisher has standards and won't take anything below the standard. They might give you a chance to fix it and resubmit.

@akalinus thanks! And if they are a vanity press, they will not reject my work in a jiffy.

@Mamerto32 I remember the first comment I got from an editor. It was for a poem and said "sorry." My writer's group said that was good. The best one I ever had was for a writer's magazine. It was a humor piece on why editors reject a story. They told me that it was not right for the magazine but "you had to be there when I read it to the staff."

@akalinus that was indeed very helpful of them, as if they left clues for you so you will improve!

Comments are goldmines for me. They don't mean you are terrible, they just want something to improve. I'm now applying those feed backs in my flash fictions, and later to longer short stories.
