Customer Reviews

Writers, take heart!

Rejections are the stock in trade for all writers, and you'll be delighted to discover that you're in good company when you read the rejections in this book! Some of the books that we now deem to be classics, and some of our most renowned authors were once judged to be unworthy and untalented. The bottom line, from one of the authors in this book, is to believe in yourself and to keep trying until you finally make the connection with the right agent/publisher who believes in you, and who understands and believes in your work. Let's hope your particular journey to publication is a short one! But if it's not then pull out this book and re-read it from time to time, and let it give you the courage to continue the journey. I wish you all success!
