When I didn't receive responses from some publishers to whom I had asked to send my manuscript, I certainly didn't take it well, but not too badly, to tell the truth. Unfortunately, not all publishing houses dedicate a page to sending manuscripts, so the only thing an author can do, in my opinion, is ask permission. In two other cases, however, another publisher rejected my idea - he did not accept already written works, but only evaluated proposals. Patience. I didn't have a problem with it, perhaps because I hadn't written anything yet, but I spent little time developing my ideas. The case of the publisher who first chose to publish me and then changed his mind is different. But in that case there was only a profound annoyance at having come across people who don't know how to work. Patience, again. The publisher's refusal must be managed. As? Simple, it's part of the game.
If you think you can't stand rejection, then choose self-publishing. How to get published by a publishing house? Good question. So far I only have 5 very short stories published, 4 in anthologies and one in a magazine. I don't know how to answer, then. Getting published, however, is not impossible, given that many succeed. In the meantime, we must Special Data learn to choose the publisher for our work , which is certainly not easy or immediate. But first of all we have to write a book worthy of being published , which is even more complicated. 3 – Negative reviews Today the web speaks, if anyone hasn't understood it yet. This means that our readers will also talk , both in their blogs, and on the social media they frequent, and in literary forums, and in the online bookstores where they purchased our book or ebook. The fear of receiving a negative review is always around the corner.
But even in this case it's part of the game, right? Of course, as I said before, if it is a Ken Follett who receives it, his sales will not suffer a drop, but if it is any Daniele Imperi who receives it, then this gentleman must start to worry. How to react to negative reviews? Another good question. Meanwhile, I would make a big division within the reviews: negative and non-constructive comments the reviews themselves What is the difference? In the first case we can read sentences like "Don't buy this book, it sucks", written just like that, with no punctuation included. Or (real review): I found this book weak and specious. The first starts from an original and fun idea, I don't think the others are worth the effort to read them Is it a review, do you think? No, it's just a judgment and not even a constructive one. And written by someone who doesn't know punctuation
