Advice for New Writers on Staying Positive After Receiving Rejections

Oftentimes, rejection is not personal, says Carl Prude Jr., an author, speaker, and president of The Work Life Company. If you have been rejected by an agent or publisher, it’s not necessarily because they don’t like your book – the book just may not fit what they are looking for at the moment. But Prude reminds writers that with so many people in the world, there is someone out there who is looking for what you have created. To find that someone, you will need to face rejection in the process. Avoid putting pressure on yourself, and think of the rejections as part of your growth, so you’re not bombarded with negative energy.
