Rejection #2 for My Book or I Refuse to Give Up!

I've heard unofficially from the second publisher to whom I've sent my book. It's not on the upcoming schedule, so they don't think they're going with it. The Exec. Editor is on vacation, but I'll talk with her when she gets back.

I'm disappointed as I queried this published and they were interested as is a third publisher who'll be next in line.

I know this is the routine - this is my eighth book - and it doesn't get any easier. I've self-published one book previously, but it was in the days before POD. It's a ton of work: the writing and publishing are only half the story: marketing is what makes or breaks book sales, and it was exhausting doing it all, so I'm really trying to go with a publisher.

I made a list of positives about being rejected, and I'll share those in my next post.
