Rejection is part of life.
Some of the famous rejection stories are (from here) :
- Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone – 14 rejections
- Jonathan Livingston Seagull – 18 rejections
- Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell – 38 rejections
- From rejection slip for George Orwell's Animal Farm: “It is impossible to sell animal stories in the U.S.A.”
- From rejection slip for article sent to the San Francisco Examiner to Rudyard Kipling: “I'm sorry, Mr. Kipling, but you just don't know how to use the English language."
- From rejection slip for The Diary of Anne Frank: “The girl doesn't, it seems to me, have a special perception or feeling which would lift that book above the curiosity level.”
