The Basics of Profitable Publishing

Rejection

Don't hinge your self-esteem on the rejection letters that will surely come. Every one is a step forward to the one who will publish your book. The only way to get rid of the rejection letters is to take your destiny into your own hands and decide to publish the book at your expense. It is a bold move, but many self-published books get picked up later, once its market has been proven. Don't ask why! Writers, of course, want to know why their book 'doesn't fit' with the publishing house, especially if they have done their homework and gone to great lengths to find a publishing house where their work 'should fit.' But editors, when they reject, have been trained not to say the reason. Editors do not want to engage in a discussion about the reason that the book has been rejected, because the author will either argue their point (which doesn't win you points) or offer to 'fix it.' Neither of which the editor is interested in. If the editor thought your book could be 'fixed' to fit their criteria, it wouldn't have been rejected.

An investment in knowledge

always pays the best interest.

Imagine the universe beautiful

and just and perfect.

Then be sure of one thing:

The Is has imagined it quite a

bit better than you have.

The original sin is to limit the Is.

Don't.
