+30 YEARS OF REJECTION: My First Query Letter & My First Rejection Letter

#authortube #booktube #queryletters

I found my earliest known rejection letter along with a query letter for my very first novel, written way back in 1988.

Is this your first time to my channel? Here's little about me:

I'm the author a several children's books, including THERE'S A DINOSAUR ON THE 13th FLOOR (illustrated by Kevin Hawkes). I have also written over forty published plays, including "The Actor Games" and "Promedy."

But long before I first received an acceptance letter, I had to wade through a whole lot of rejection.

This is an example of what NOT to do in a query letter. But it is also advice about how to handle rejection letters, as well as how to respond from your failures.
