Here is the last (of 10) emails I sent to the New Yorker editor who was kind enough before to let me send it to him personally, along with his response:
Hey B*,
I tried sending you at least 10 different messages from 3 different email addresses, but I smell conspiracy.
Anyway, just wanted you to know that I re-submitted my story since it disappeared in the New Yorker Database last summer, so if you decide you want to read it after all the hype and folly, it's there. Thanks for reaching out to an aspiring writer. It was a kind and thoughtful gesture. I hope you're well.
Peace, Blessings,
--Jackson Bliss
And his response:
If only we had the time + resources to actually cause conspiracy. It's sort of bizarre that I only get the most random of emails from you. Have you tried pasting the story into the text of the email? If so, go ahead + send it to my personal email address: ohwouldntyouliketoknow@yahoo.com + I'll read it there.
