Patrick: their website says Louise is open (and not accepting fantasy), but says John is still closed.

Crossover speculative adult science fiction.
Nice letter sent from John Wordsworth saying he enjoyed what he read and it had some strengths, but not for them at this time.

YA Fantasy - form reject. Thought might be a bit personalized but alas, no.

For some reason, this one made me nervous.

According to Twitter, they've updated their submission guidelines:

For the time being we're ONLY looking for horror, crime and thrillers. NO SF/F please.

YA Fantasy

Very polite and helpful rejction letter. He said that he really enjoyed the first few chapters and thought it had "obvious strengths" but it wasn't right for what they are looking for right now.
