Interpreting Rejection Letters and Critique/Reader Comments. There are 5 different rejection letters you can receive from agents and editors. From a flat no thank you to an actual revision letter. Come learn the nuances of each type of letter and how you can turn that “No Thanks” into a new opportunity. We’ll also address comments received from editors, agents, critiques, and beta readers. Ever get a comment like, “What’s with the ghost? Is it needed?” You read that and think, duh, it’s a ghost. What this comment means is the reader doesn’t see the purpose the ghost serves.
