Oh well, I got my first rejection today since deciding to try and write professionally again. (Witch’s Boy went through 15 of them). This was for the reworked ‘90% Proof’. In the interests of anyone thinking of submitting their own stuff for publication, I thought I’d post it here so you can see what sort…
