I think I might have done something very stupid on Twitter. Last week I tweeted the real meaning of phrases that publishers use when rejecting authors under the hashtag #publishingeuphemisms and deciphered glib phrases such as: «this is too literary for our list» (it’s boring); «the novel never quite reached the huge potential of its promise» (your pitch letter was better than the book); and «sadly we are publishing a book similar to this next spring» (it too has a beginning, middle and end).
