Dear Antoinette K. Cole,
I wanted to let you know your entry "Water Mommies" made it to the final three entries in consideration for this year's Jack Dyer Fiction Prize competition (out of three hundred and eighty-nine entries). Since you were one of our finalists, we would like to offer to publish your entry (if the work is still available for first publication) in CRAB ORCHARD REVIEW, Volume 14, Number 1, which is scheduled to appear in Winter/Spring 2009.
--Hey all, I still can't believe I'm going to be published in this magazine. When I received the call from Mr. Tribble the other day I was very surprised because I had forgotten all about the Jack Dyer submission. Anyway, he made my day when he told me how much Carolyn Alessio (the fiction judge and prose editor for COR) loved the story. This one acceptance makes all the rejections that much sweeter.

But seriously--I think this is not the last we'll be hearing of Toni K. Cole. In fact, I think this is merely the marvelous and auspicious beginning.
I'm proud just to know you. I'm going to buy a copy and make you autograph it.
You deserve a gold star sticker. I just don't have one.

Too cool. Nettie's going places. I want a mention on your acknowledgments page, even if it's a carefully worded lie.
