Writers, has this happened to you? Got a LitMag rejection. It seemed like the general form rejection so I looked it up on Rejection Wiki. It’s the norm but actually worse. The last bit saying “best luck placing elsewhere” is omitted. Dude! Gut punch. Anyone else ever get one like this?

71% of organizations say they have issued internal communications to address the current administration. Large bold red and navy percentage sits above the statement in serif font.

55% say an unfavorable policy environment influences blocking efforts. The phrase 'unfavorable policy environment' is highlighted in red; the large 55% is styled in bold navy and red.

Two statistics side by side: 56% say crisis or reactive comms needs influence blocking efforts; 48% say public perception or reputational concerns influence blocking efforts. Red text emphasizes 'crisis' and 'reputation.'

On average, communications focus 58% on building a desired future and 42% on blocking negative outcomes. Definitions of 'building' and 'blocking' are included on the left. Text-heavy slide with a navy border and icons at the bottom.
