Sweetly Rejected

I have started into the publishing process of Nedge, and I have to say... Rejection can be so sweet. I always talk to my English students about the hardships of trying to get published: Form letters, unopened manuscripts, rejections, the list goes on...

But last night I got another great rejection letter. I call it great because the letter I opened last night was kind and thoughtful. I am amazed that a publishing house sent me a personalized letter that actually hints they read my book.

I'm sure I'll receive countless other rejections--most of them will be form letters--but today I will sigh a sigh of happiness and say, "Rejection can be sweet."

Here's the letter she sent to me. I blocked out her name to keep her privacy. Click on the image to see it in full view.


Note, I sent the letter to her on the 17th of October! Now that's fast turnaround... Here's to Nedge.
