Both were books. The first was rejected because they said if fell into their "self-help" guideline. They don't take self-help books. It wasn't a self-help book, but it was a book that that taught you how to do something and they considered it self-help.
The second was for a fiction project that would be a novella. I was accurate, clear and honest in my description of it. The story revolves around a guy who answers a woman's online personals ad. She is looking just for someone to hook up with a few times a week for sex. After a few months of this he starts to get feelings for her and when she finds out about his feelings she ends the arrangement and no longer wants to see him. He becomes obsessed with her and that obsession leads him down a dark, bad road.
It has some explicit sex scenes in it, but the way they are written it is more like a Rated R movie than anything else. Still, they decided that it sounded too explicit and denied it.
The newest one I am putting together is also a fiction novella, but it is in genre that I see other campaigns for so I don't see any reason why it won't get accepted.
