As I have said repeatedly throughout this series, most of my rejections were richly deserved. This one more than most. Check it:
Now repeat after me: “Always research your market before you submit!” Because if you do, then you won’t waste your time, you won’t waste the editor’s time, and you won’t get a rejection letter like this one, which very charitably did not begin, “Dear Idiot.”
Hi..Just wanted to say youre amazing dude. Awesome author and I feel how Kyra does about Schetma about your books. Ive read Gothgirl rising and The adventures of fanboy and gothgirl. I hope to read the otherones but Im broke!
Aw, thanks! And hey — if you’re broke, head to your local library and ask for the books there! 🙂
