What's So Bad About Rejection?

It's the most common thing in the world

Hi friends,

The clock is ticking down to my pub day!!! This Saturday, June 7th is my official NYC launch party for WRITE THROUGH IT: An Insider’s Guide to Publishing and the Creative Life (get tickets here!). Signed book orders still going strong at the Strand bookstore!

Tuesday we talked about how hard it is to find an agent. Thanks to everyone who read and posted and shared the info. My whole goal for this newsletter is to get the information out there far and wide, so every little bit helps. Today, I want to go in depth on another topic that goes hand in hand with finding an agent: rejection.

I’ve had twenty years to get used to having my work and the work of my clients get rejected. And guess what, both those things happen regularly. I do not sell every article or book I write, and I don’t sell every client book I send out. That’s NORMAL.
