Many thanks for sending us your submission. I’m afraid to say, however, that it won’t be a project we’ll be pursuing. Unfortunately owing to time constraints, and the number of submissions we receive, we're unable to provide individual feedback.

Form rejection below. I didn't take my name out, by the way. That's what they wrote. "Dear Author". Couldn't even be bothered to copy-paste my name into the email.

Dear Author,
Many thanks for sending us your submission. I’m afraid to say, however, that it won’t be a project we’ll be pursuing. We apologise for the form nature of this response but please know that we consider each submission carefully. Unfortunately owing to time constraints, and the number of submissions we receive, we're unable to provide individual feedback.
Our business is subjective by nature and another agency may well feel differently – we wish you all the best with your writing.
Yours sincerely,
The Mushens Entertainment Team
