I’m trying to put the word out among writing groups and friends - I was so impressed with the quality of your publication and the effort going in to encourage new writers to value themselves and produce elegant work. I definitely felt inspired by this month’s challenge and loved writing for it.

I can't tell you enough how grateful I am for you and Elegant Literature. I've been a writer for about as long as I can remember, but my publications in Elegant Literature have driven me to really focus my energy. I've grown so much as a writer through submitting to Elegant Literature. I can't wait to see where my writing career brings me.

Just signed up with Elegant+ this morning and glad to be here. Much respect for what you are doing to promote new writers. The prize money is staggering, the pay rate is excellent, the ethos is exceptional.

I just wanted to tell you that I appreciated the personal touch to your email late last week. I'm new to writing fiction, as I suppose most people at Elegant are, and your thoughts really resonated with me, particularly when it comes to imposter syndrome. I wanted to thank you for sharing your experiences and for what you're doing to give new writers opportunities!

I'm loving the emails and the magazine. I was just gonna subscribe for one month so I could enter one of your contests, but your emails alone are worth $10 a month. Thanks for the awesome writing tips and I look forward to reading more from you.
