Some people have a lot of nerve, ripping off blogs with no shame.
Literary Rejections sprouted up like a weed in 2014 (i.e., the last 11 days), claiming to be the "official website." Official, my ass. What does that even mean? Official of what? Ah, well, some people are truly full of douchery, am I right? Here's what s/he writes about the :
Giving a Voice to Those Without a Publishing Deal
The quest to be read consumes the life of the writer. Doors too often close in their face. Rejection dangles the temptation to quit before their eyes on a frequent basis. Their prose is silent, as are their voices. Unpublished writers are some of the most dedicated, hardworking, unrewarded creative individuals on the planet. Their stories of rejection,
and their journeys to the promised land of a publishing deal, matter.
They embody the relentless ambition of a dream. They remind the
publishing industry that talent is always knocking on the door. That no
matter how many no’s they hear they will never give up. It is not an
option. Writing is what makes them who they are. It defines them. This site will give them a voice. Through a series of blog posts, writers from across all genres and countries will
be able to share their personal experiences of rejection. This
community will help each other, and inspire those about to embark on the
arduous journey to print.
BTW, you'll be relieved to know that the site declares it will not charge you any dues to be a member of the site. Weirdly, it is a hugely extensive undertaking, but its owners ripped off some other ideas and a few of my branding elements, as displayed above. I don't know how I'm going to get behind this grand effort. I'll have to mull it over and get in touch with my more generous self.
