“It’s a really interesting project, but I’ll be completely honest and say that anthologies are extremely difficult to make work unless you have major writers (ie., proven bestsellers or those with literary cachet) signed up. It’s also very difficult to sell material that has already been published online unless it’s combined with a majority of new, never-before-published material.

“Thanks for the chance to take a sneak peak at what you’re working on. Should you embark on anything else, I’d be interested to hear about it. In the meantime, best of luck finding the right home for this project.”

— Meaghan O’Connell posts the agent rejection letter she and Melissa Gira Grant once received for Coming & Crying.

Note that yesterday the project finished 575% funded with over $17,000 raised. I guess they did find the right home for their project?
