Dear Alan Beard,
Thank you for your interest in Blackbird, and our sincere apologies for the uncustomary delay in response. Unfortunately, "Background Noise" doesn’t meet our needs at this time. Due to the high volume of submissions, we can only publish a small amount of what we receive. We wish you the best of luck in your future writing endeavors.

Sent this in Jan 09 - 18 months for a reply. Ah well, I had one accepted today as well - 'Staff Development' (previously called 'Separate Things'), so I'm happy.

Congrats on publication of "Staff Development," Alan! I know it's one I'll want to read, so I must track it down. How are you? Long time no talk. I hope all is well. I've been kind of slack on my blog, so there's not much news there, maybe one or two pubs since we chatted last. Take care.

Hey Meg thanks for the comment. Hope you are well. My story will be in 'Warwick Review' - kind of UK equivalent to AGNI or Ploughshares. My book comes out soon too - Sept 30th hopefully - called 'You Don't Have To Say'. I'll check your blog out.
I will see if I can get a hold of "Warwick Review," Alan, it sounds like an excellent journal, and again, congratulations. I will write you about your book, to get the details. Good things coming down the pike for you. Cheers.
