Hi I have just received 3 rejections for my very first articles I submitted to you.
I am new and I feel quite dejected by this outcome as you have rejected all 3 articles.
The piece titled "Mental Illness And Family Life: Coping With Bipolar Disorder. Cathy's Story" has "grammar, sentence structure, or punctuation errors".
Would you please elaborate in regards to the problems with this article.
Please understand I am wanting to learn from this.
Thank You for your time.

I'm sorry, but finding errors is the responsibility of the authors themselves. We require all authors to have a basic understanding of writing and to uphold standards of quality. Please have someone else review your article if you are unable to identify errors; articles are purged from our system once rejected, and editors cannot go back and view them.

Thanks,
Ed

I accept that my work may not be up to your standards, but if I were you I would work on the way you deliver rejections.
It comes across harsh and evasive.
Thanks anyway for your time.
