As an editor who's also a writer, it's especially painful to read a beautifully crafted submission from a writer with obvious talent and have to reject it—for any number of reasons. Writers, we want every one of you to be our next yes!!

It is interesting that we’ve never seen a government initiative to support a business that employed so many Americans. They just let it die a natural death.
A stat we don't talk about enough: Newspapers have lost 77% of their jobs over the last 20 year, more than any of the 532 other industries tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
