10. The reasons for not being inviting will include – we have reached capacity for that month, high competition of quality of work, your pitch isn’t strong enough, oversubscribed and where possible we may offer feedback (but please be aware due to capacity feedback may not always be possible)
    
    We will respond to all submission enquiries, however our response time may vary. Typically a response should take one week, but we occasionally hold submissions for longer periods. Please wait until two weeks have passed before sending queries about pending submissions.
