1/5 — Rejection Letter—Grafton Books

For background on this, see : http://www.vincenteaton.com/Blog/2010/07/23/15-%E2%80%93-rejection-letter%E2%....

I'm a writer. I got rejection letters from publishers. In the interests of writerly retro-masochism and in a spirit of fun, I constructed short videos around five of the rejection letters. This is number one.

@elinoree Thanks for comment! Oh if like this one, you'll love the next ones (coming toward end of summer). I've had a lifetime of this---after this novel was published I had, over the next 10 years, 7 different literary agents representing 7 different books, and no takers, for much the same reasons...but that's perhaps another video down the line. xo;-}

Figetje--Thanks, and yes, many works in the pipeline to make their entrance upon the world's stage, anon, anon.

This is fricken awesome, classic. The classic artist's tale of "Wow, your stuff is so aweome! No, sorry I can't buy it right now."

overall pain level huh? Sending out letters like that one all day long, I *would* get depressed...

My guess is the guy connected with his own pain reading your novel...

Looking forward to th next installment...

And so a frustrated writer puts pen to paper. Would that he had read, even seen Max Dix: Zero to Six. A worthy second play/novel ready for that two book deal?
