Rejected? Don’t Be Dejected!

I’ve had my share of rejections and bad reviews. Who hasn’t? The most devastating, for The MoonQuest, was so searing that part of me wanted to quit writing and never put my work out into the world again. Instead, after a lot of self-pity and a fair bit of moping, I did what Madeleine L'Engle did when faced with judgment and rejection: I soldiered on, recognizing that every rejection is simply one person's opinion. The MoonQuest, by the way, went on to win six literary awards, and I now offer tips on how to handle rejection and others’ judgments in all my books for writers, including this one, as well as in many of my workshops.

Book Excerpt

Birthing Your Book

Author Madeleine L’Engle received two years’ worth of rejections from twenty-six publishers for her novel A Wrinkle in Time, which, once it was finally published in 1962, went on to win major awards and be translated into more than a dozen languages. It’s still in print and still popular.

Toward the end of that demoralizing two-year period, L’Engle covered up her typewriter and decided to give up, on A Wrinkle in Time and on writing. Moments later L’Engle had an idea for a new novel — about failure. In a flash, she was back at her typewriter.

“That night,” as she explained thirty years later in a PBS documentary, “I wrote in my journal, ‘I’m a writer. That’s who I am. That’s what I am. That’s what I have to do — even if I’m never, ever published again.’ And I had to take seriously the fact that I might never, ever be published again. … It’s easy to say I’m a writer now, but I said it when it was hard to say. And I meant it.”
