<aside> 💡 Response to author if rejected at Stage 1

</aside>

Hey [INSERT AUTHOR'S NAME], thank you for submitting your article, "[INSERT TITLE OF ARTICLE]" to the Writers Guild for publishing! I am the primary editor assigned to your submission. I am writing to regretfully inform you that we have decided not to publish this article.

We will provide feedback about your particular article, but first acquaint yourself with some common reasons for not publishing, which include: previously published, too personal, lack of backing up claims, too long or short, not about crypto, or too political/religious, etc.

[INSERT AUTHOR'S NAME], we try to find pieces that evoke the entire bDAO, and hope you will write and submit another one that hits closer to the mark. If you'd like ideas on what to write about, kindly reach out to our editing and publishing team. We'd be happy to keep working with you!

Although I enjoyed reading it, the article... [Author specific reasons for objections, be nice.]

We understand the work, research, and overall effort that it takes to write an article, and appreciate your efforts and desire to collaborate with the Editing and Publishing Arm of the Writers Guild.

Thank you again,

[Editor's name]
