\nWhen you send a short story to a magazine, it probably doesn\u2019t go directly to the editor. Instead, it ends up in what\u2019s called the slush pile\u2013the pool of unsolicited work waiting for review. Who reviews it? Weirdos like us. In this episode of Rite Gud, we\u2019re joined by slush readers NM Whitley and Karl P to talk about why stories get rejected, retro ’70s gender war fiction, and the art of rejectomancy.
