Dealing With Rejection
by Mickey
Posted: Wednesday, October 24, 2007 Word Count: 66 Summary: My letter to the BBC entitled ‘Points of View’ which I posted a while back seemed to amuse a number of fellow members. Here is another letter, this time to an unconvinced publisher (I actually sent this I seem to remember…although it didn’t change his opinion!) |
Sir,
I’ve just received your rejection letter, saying my work’s not worth setting in type, and that you’re inundated with stuff that’s much better and that, in your opinion, my poetry’s tripe.
Thank you, Sir, for your honest perusal - but remember that Decca executive chap when who, like you, offered first refusal, wrote back to The Beatles to say they were crap.
Yours etc etc
