You send your query into a magic box (agency, publishing house, magazine, etc.) and you wait and wait and wait. Eventually the magic box spits out a rejection letter. The letter says bad things, but it also says nice things. What does it all mean? What is the magic box trying to tell me? So the next time you send something into the magic box you include your rejection letter. Because maybe that will make it happy.Dennis Casshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07831442086003454851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35623128.post-70495903749272849112008-04-20T15:55:00.000-04:002008-04-20T15:55:00.000-04:00Good post.

I can see how a writer would do that, since they're just trying to pass on as much professional feedback about the work as possible to potential collaborators, but a rejection is still a net negative, so you don't want to bring it up until you have represenation.<BR/><BR/>But after you do have an agent or a publisher...I don't see any reason not to share criticism from agents or editors who commented on the work specifically in the course of rejecting it. What you're looking for is shared sentiments. If 2 or more people are getting at the same type of comment, there is probably something to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
