I guess I received a sort of backhanded compliment for my novel Into the Sunset. This is a rejection I received today from the small press Impetus:
Dear Me.(sic) Capone,
While your novel sounds interesting, Impetus doesn't publish mainstream
fiction--only serious literary fiction with a pop edge, that falls
in-between the mainstream and commercial presses.
All best,
Jennifer Banash
Publisher
Impetus Press
So, my work isn't "serious" or "literary," but it is mainstream. Woo-hoo! That's what I've been trying to tell everyone else who rejected it!

Don, if something is funny, it's often not taken "seriously". And, your work is VERY funny. That said, I think it's also "serious".
Hey Mark,
I have two subs still out with small presses (and I'll probably try a few more), but I also have something else up my sleeve (more on that later).
Ans Susan, thanks for the support!
That's interesting. I didn't know that. Guess her book is "serious" with a "pop" edge." Thanks for the info!
