RE: Confessions of a Writer, For Anyone Interested in Publishing a Book (15 years of experience)

in #writing7 years ago

Very interesting to here your insights @yahialababidi. That poem made me laugh, as the first part reminds me of one of my uni lecturers when advising us glint-eyed impressionable students what to expect if we ever got a finished manuscript together. I still remember his words echoing in my mind all these years later, "Expect rejection after rejection... and when you think that's as much as you can take... more rejection."

It's good to hear you found a publisher to re-print your seminal work that must be such a relief. Like suddenly finding a child you had thought lost. Best of luck with the new book launch 📖🙂

Haha, good advice... "more rejection"... toughens one up, not to take things too, too personally, and to do one's best work!

Yes, relieved book is not kicked by curbside (but, also, ambitious for a bigger publisher than offers I have & exploring options).

Thanks, for stopping by, my friend. I wish you all the best with your own fine work, dear Rowan @raj808.

Cheers, Yahia
