To the Editors:
I am sending my sincerest apologies to you. I just submitted a nonfiction essay to you via email today for review, and remembered—immediately after hitting “send”–that it was published elsewhere over the summer. I have never made this mistake before, and will quietly berate myself about it later this evening. Most likely with scotch neat and and a bowl of cookie dough batter.
Again, I am so sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused. To quote my mother-in-law (may she rest in peace): oy.
Take good care,
Kathleen McKitty Harris
