Lots of top authors have had work rejected.
Accent Press contacted me and asked for 3 chapters but was rejected. Numerous re-writes since then.
I saved money and sent to Hilary Johnson for a review. It cost about £400. The review didn't fill me with confidence which is fair enough but at least it was mentioned I could write!
I lost my confidence and stopped writing 18months ago.
Recently I had two reviews on Harper Collins site and will say the majority of past reviews have been wonderful and the the comments encouraging... especially a '"roll over Bill Bryson"!!! These last two prompted me to start again. So what the hell!!
Anyway, Sunday I opened up Kangaroo Land file for the first time in 18 months and to hell with it, will try again!
Have you been rejected?
