It isn't a publisher's job to explain why a ms isn't suitable for their list, but if they think the writer shows promise, it's not unheard of for them to add a note of encouragement to a rejection slip,
but why should they be expected to trawl through what is probably a large pile of unsuitable manuscripts and then take the time to explain their decision to someone who would most likely reject
the rejection?

Exactly. It's like sending in a job application - I know of very few employers any more who even let you know you're not hired. They just don't call you. There's no letter explaining why and what one could do to improve their chances. I don't know why writers should feel they're entitled to anything.

I saw this shared on my Facebook feed and got all excited. Just hoping I can get my manuscript ready in time for it as I'm so close to finishing! Anyway, Daw from Penguin is open to unsolicited submissions for fantasy and sci-fi
