Problem is, you had initially said your VF pitch was going to be about Robert Stacy McCain -- then you added the Vanderbilt story which made it convoluted and too much information.
You should simplify it to what the original pitch was going to be. You had said that the Vanderbilt story would be a separate one.
For VF, they need to be shorter (didn't he say 500 words?) Your submission was 1750 words.
Let's strategize this before you send your next VF pitch. Maybe you should go back to some of the emails he has sent you in the past and read what he said? It's obvious he really does like your work and you probably just need to be more mindful of his criteria.
