So you ve written a book and now,
you want to share this work of art with the world; publishers are the only
people standing in your way. It doesn t really matter what genre you specialize
in, the fact of the matter is, when you send your work to editors or publishing
houses, you can get rejected.
Instead of sulking at home, refusing
to write another word, you can try sending your manuscript to another editor. More
often than not, publishing houses and editors work under strict guidelines with
manuscript submission and you ll be putting yourself in danger by sending your
manuscript to other editors at the same time.
Meanwhile, you can keep a close eye
on your email for a letter from the publishers. You then get back to reading
the rest of the rejection letter. Here, you ll be given a number of tips how
you make your work better. When all these tips have sunk in, you can start
submitting your manuscript to another editor.
Simply repeat the process of sitting
and waiting, keeping an eye out for a letter from the publisher, etc. For the
first rejection slip you ve received, you can file this letter away or you can
simply throw it out. Remember that that was just one publisher s opinion. You
have a long list of publishers to go through. In the meantime, you can continue
revising and editing your manuscript. Rejection from publishers is just a part
of the process for becoming a successful writer.
