Don't Let Rejection Deter You - podcast

Rejection happens—it happens to every aspiring author. It's how you handle the rejection that determines whether or not you reach your goal of getting published. Robert Dugoni, New York Times bestselling author of legal thrillers, offers his perspective on the meaning of rejection, how to handle rejection from a publisher, and how to use it as a tool to improve. He says that you can't let the fear of rejection stop you from fulfilling your publishing dream. This interview will encourage you to be tenacious in the face of rejection. It will remind you that even the biggest authors have dealt with rejection, and if they can overcome it, so can you.

  • I am writing a book but I can't get it published because they want copywrite permission for all of the pictures in the book. These pictures are from 1944 and the people are no longer alive. Also they want copywrite permission to print a picture of my Purple Heart which was awarded to me in WWII, 1944. Rejection? I don't know what to do? I'm ready to give up. bobb7@atmc.net Can you HELP?
  • This is a great word of encouragement. It has to do with self confidence and the ability to never quit. I have just published my first book, Happiness Is All In You, and it somewhat address this issue. People have to know their values and the value of their works even in the face of rejection. Rejection is not failure; quitting due to rejection is failure. Thanks for this.

Now that I know the challenge is not peculiar to me, I feel strenghtened to move on. Thanks for sharing. I am Idaresit E. Ekwere.
