HAVE YOU EVER BEEN REJECTED?
O, The Oprah Magazine called Other People's Love Letters
"addictive," Esquire described it as "painfully entertaining."
Now you can be a part of the follow-up book.
Other People's Rejection Letters will feature reproductions of
all kinds of rejection letters. Whether typed form letters or
handwritten in a fit of rage, whether sent by text message,
email, or scrawled in crayon, any kind of rejection is fair
game: You didn't get the job or the loan or the membership;
you're not the right fit for our dentistry school; you're my son
but I never want to see you again; your restaurant failed its
health inspection; your parole has been denied; we had a good
time together but you cheated on me so this is goodbye.
“Don't worry: I can digitally black-out any last names so that
you won't be identifiable,” said Bill Shapiro, Editor of Other
People’s Love Letters
So if you have a rejection letter or two tucked back there in
the closet (or if you've written any) that you'd be willing to
share, now's your chance to be part of the book.
“You can send them to
1000rejectionletters@gmail.com. And if you have any
questions, I'll answer them right away,” he said.

Imagine
by Brianna Berry
Imagine a world without haters.
Imagine a world without suffering.
Imagine a world where no one goes to heck.
Imagine, just Imagine.
What if there was a world without death?
What if there was a world with no lies?
What if there was a world with no wars?
What if? What if?
How about a world without drugs?
How about a world without rape?
How about a world without broken hearts?
How about this? How about that?
What if there was a world without tears?
How about a world without suicide?
Imagine a world without pain.
Just Imagine
