About Me

Writer, Rejected: I am a published, award-winning author of fiction and creative nonfiction--but whatever. In the eyes of many, I am still a literary reject. Here's my latest book: http://amzn.to/1ByRI1a

Send your anonymous rejections to writerrejected at aol.com. Or post a comment. Or completely ignore any directives and just have fun lurking.

Humble Pie

Remember this: Someone out there will always say no.

Rules of the Game

1) No name calling.

2) Use your civilized words, your literary words, your feisty argumentative words, your clever words.

3) Do not use your crass, insulting or rude words.

4) Be nice to one another. The world is already overpopulated with asses.

Guess What?

After 15 years of rejections (most of them posted here along with all the rejections you've sent me over the years), my novel is getting published by a literary press. Little third-gendered me will soon have a book you can read for yourself and see if the hundreds of rejections were misguided or not. For more on the matter, read this post and this one too.
