Fresh Juniper Rejection

Posted on 9:20 AM by humpty
I got this today, which means, oops, I forgot to withdraw my novel manuscript from this competition.  Guess it's a good thing it apparently didn't even come close to winning. Also, it's about as bare bones as you can get, no?

Thank you for entering our Juniper Prize competition. I am sorry that your entry was not chosen. I hope you will enter again in August 2014.
