If a writer is repeatedly rejected by the New Yorker's Talk of the Town section, are those stories ever read? Until now, the answer has been an emphatic "not usually"! But that's all about to change.

Silenceofthecity.com is a site devoted entirely to rejected Talk of the Town stories; it runs the pieces the New Yorker won't. If you would like to submit a story, email: submissions@silenceofthecity.com

Please include the date of rejection (or the approximate date) at the top of the piece.

Thanks very much,
