I'm so glad to see more presses doing this. Just this week I did the same and I kind of thought it was normal to give feedback, albeit, I'm not a huge conglomerate receiving hundreds of thousands of manuscripts so I don't know what they deal with. But cheers to smaller presses taking back the reins in publishing. I hope more follow suit so everyone can become better writers.

Politely worded? Yes. A very gentle rejection. But hardly personalized feedback.
Hi, please let me know when you do a competition of sorts.
I'm writing my 2nd book, a QuitLit memoir about life in addiction then recovery.
Looking for the right editor or publisher.
Thank you.

Great post. Feedback is so important in developing a complete & thoughtful story.
