I had my first story rejected, with the reason:
"Story doesn't meet our quality standards. Please consider posting a request for proofreading and editing assistance in our Writer's Resources forum. Thank you. "
Since It is my first story ever and more than this it is in a - for me - foreing language, the rejection was something I considered possible and of course perfectly acceptable. The challenge is thrilling.
The problem is I can't understand what was wrong with it, since "quality standards" is quite a wide range of things.
Is it written with a poor grammar? Did I use wrong terms? Is it too fast, too slow, too soft, too hard? Is it tiring to read? Is the punctuation too heavy or too rare? Etc... Etc...
I don't know.
So, I'm here asking is there someone so gentle and sweet who would help me to understand, so I could correct the story and make it better? Or who could help a little in writing it better?
I would change everything needed to let the story at least acceptable
