William Golding Mr. Golding's Lord of the Flies was rejected by 20 publishers. One denounced the future classic with these words (which should be inscribed on the hapless publisher's tomb): an absurd and uninteresting fantasy which was rubbish and dull
@hollyesque Most of the great novels have been rejected NUMEROUS times. Stephen King, William Golding, John le Carré, Anne Frank, Joseph Heller, J.K. Rowling, Ursula K. Le Guin, George Orwell, Tony Hillerman, and William Faulkner were ALL rejected. NEVER EVER give up!

i'm glad that after all that rejection you didn't dare give up. it just goes to show that persistence pays off in the end.
