January 1, 2010A personal touch took the sting out of a rejection letter
Sure, it was a rejection letter. But the fact that it was hand-written and encouraging took the sting out of it. It said,
“Dear Kris,
I enjoyed reading this very much. It’s definitely publishable, though I regret that it’s not right for us at this time. We take on very few projects for the middle grades.
Best of luck in finding the right publisher.”
I remember a friend whose response to rejection letters was,
- One no closer to a yes.
The handwritten rejection letter that Kris received certainly makes it easier to believe that’s true.
