Subject: A Message From This I Believe


Dear Frederick Wurtzel:

Thank you for submitting an essay to This I Believe. Your essay has now
completed our review process. Though your essay was not chosen for broadcast
on NPR, the larger goal of our project is to open a community conversation
about belief--one essay at a time. To that end, we have placed your essay in
the This I Believe online database. 

If you go to our website at www.thisibelieve.org, then click on "Advanced
Essay Search," fill in only your last name in the "Last Name" field. You can
also find your essay by searching all essays from your city or state. You
will notice that only your first name will be seen on the web page with your
essay. We do not publish last names or other personal information on our
website.

Please don't consider this in any way a "rejection."  Our criteria for
broadcast consider many factors beyond subjective notions of quality. We air
only a fraction of one percent of those submitted, and we must balance our
few selections across themes, perspectives, diversity of sources, and so on.

Though your essay has not been selected for NPR, we are working to find
other venues to publish some of the many thousands of essays we have
received, including newspapers, podcasts, and local public radio stations.
Should we find a venue to print or broadcast your essay, one of our staff
will be in touch with you.

We are honored by your having shared your most closely held convictions with
us. Thank you, sincerely, for participating in our project.

-- The staff of This I Believe
