What writer hasn't? Rejection is just part of the job, you have to grow your thick skin or this business will eat you up. Just try to keep your perspective. Not every person is going to be the right fit for your work. You just need to realize that it's not that you're a bad writer, it's just that the book wasn't a good fit for them.
I dealt with Rejection by writing a small book called "Reejecttion" where I make fun of the mind numbing process of receiving rejection slips. Any writer can read the collection here for free. Enjoy.

Have you experienced rejection as a writer? How did it help or hinder you?
