S51E1 - How to Handle Being Rejected

Rejection is part of writing. It's a simple fact which, unfortunately, not all writers are prepared to face. Throughout February, we will be discussing author conduct using recent examples of authors behaving badly.

If you've been following author circles in the last six months, you've likely heard of more than one author criticizing reviewers for leaving bad reviews. In some of the worst cases, those authors ultimately tanked their careers because of how they handled rejection.

In this episode, we discuss how to properly handle rejection from readers, contests, agents, and publishers.
