Dear Agent,
Thank you for your rejection, but I’m afraid it’s not a good fit for me. I believe in this book and will continue to work toward publication.
I apologize for the form letter, but the volume of rejections I receive makes it impossible to personally reply to everyone.

reasons to write books
- it's like reading a story (just more painful)
- it's a way to talk for like 9 hours without being interrupted
- characters? more like....your friends 🥺😪
- you can write the books you WANT to read
- fair excuse to scream a lot, it's ok we're all doing it

As someone working w/ Amazon marketing, I can confirm that it is HIGHLY important to review your favorite authors' books. HIGHLY. Ideally a book should have minimum 15 reviews & at least a 3.5 star rating for certain algorithms to kick in. #publishing

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” This country’s greatness and true genius lies in its diversity.

We have to care more about this. We have to actually do things and, in my state, quit denying that it's happening. teapawt.net/hankgreen/status/80009…
