Five Great Quotations about Manuscript Rejection
���The first
thing you have to learn when you go into the arts is to learn to cope with rejection. If you can���t, you���re dead.��� - Warren Adler
���Rejection slips, or form letters, however tactfully phrased, are lacerations of the soul, if not quite inventions of the devil - but there is no way around them. - Isaac Asimov
This manuscript of yours that has just come back from another editor is a precious package. Don���t consider it rejected. Consider that you���ve addressed it ���to the editor who can appreciate my work��� and it has simply come back stamped ���Not at this address���. Just keep looking for the right address.��� - Barbara Kingsolver
���Manuscript: something submitted in haste and returned at leisure.��� - Oliver Herford
���...the vital point to remember is that the swine who just sent your pearl of a story back with nothing but a coffee-stain and a printed rejection slip can be wrong. You cannot take it for granted that he is wrong, but you have an all-important margin of hope that might be enough to keep you going.��� - Brian Stableford
Professional Book Editor: Having your novel, short story or nonfiction manuscript proofread or edited before submitting it can prove invaluable. In an economic climate where you face heavy competition, your writing needs a second eye to give you the edge. I can provide that second eye.
