Story writers face rejection all too often. It can be disheartening, depressing, and downright defeating. Every writer has heard that it happens to all of us, but also to show, don’t tell. This anthology does exactly that, seeking both to publish fantastic fiction and give back to the writing community.
This book is a treasury of rejected stories from award-winning authors and a home for stories from newer writers, proof that rejection doesn’t mean quit. Keep writing.
“This anthology is a treasure trove of the unusual, written for writers and by writers.” ~ Abyss & Apex
“From Science Fiction Grand Masters and New York Times bestsellers to writers just starting their career, this anthology is packed full of strong stories that waited a long time to find a home. Every story is accompanied by a rejection history from the author themselves, each with different lessons on the nature and meaning of rejection as well as words of encouragement for their fellow authors on those days when the rejections roll in too many at a time.” ~ Jenny Cruise blog
