Motivation: My manuscript was sent to two reviewers. But apparently, one of the reviewers did not respond in time. B/c Marketing Letters wants fast process, the editor made the decision based on one reviewer's rejection, agreeing that my manuscript has methodological problems, not an interesting topic, and poor English. The reviewer's comments were nice and helpful in a certain way to improve my manuscript, though the reviewer seemed not to be a very good fit for reviewing my manuscript. My manuscript was edited by the professional editing service and does not have clearly apparent grammatic errors or anything. I submitted to Marketing Letters to get a quick response, but the word limit was simply too harsh to fully and properly communicate especially for the modeling research. Although it took nearly two months to get a rejection at the first round, considering that it was right when the summer vacation started, I think the response was quick enough. The editor was also very nice and polite even with the rejection letter.
