"We felt that your work wouldn't be quite right for our list of publications, which is currently very full."
"We wish you every success in placing your work with another publishing house."
Sound familiar? Any 'trying to make it' writer would know these lines like the back of their hands.
After numerous rejections from publishers, rewrites and more rejections, I found out why, us budding writers have our work rejected, sometimes constantly or writing jobs become so hard to find. Stellar publishers like Simon & Schuster are just way too busy devoting time, energy and money on books like this.
The
Excerpts from the book include
"Gia danced around a little, shaking her peaches for show. She shook it hard. Too hard. In the middle of a shimmy, her stomach cramped. A fart slipped out. A loud one. And stinky."
"Yum. Johnny Hulk tasted like fresh gorilla," she writes. "Any juicehead will get some nut shrinkage. And bacne. They fly into a 'roid rage, it is a 'road' 'roid rage."
"He had an okay body. Not fat at all. And naturally toned abs. She could pour a shot of tequila down his belly and slurp it out of his navel without getting splashed in the face."
"I love food. I love drinking, boys, dancing until my feet swell. I love my family, my friends, my job, my boss. And I love my body, especially the badonk."
So, if you're a writer trying very hard to become an author or looking to make a decent living from your writing and you feel as though you just can't take anymore rejections. Chin up and trudge on. Now, you know why you're being rejected.
