I've heard lots of stories of editors who help out writers like this. That's why you have to keep querying. You never know where you'll strike gold:)Renee Robersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04092441426932526012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707857013369876723.post-39883060716610849092009-11-01T21:14:32.171-08:002009-11-01T21:14:32.171-08:00My first rejection letter ever was the best thing ...My first rejection letter ever was the best thing that could have happened to me. I sent a personal essay to a magazine that doesn't usually take personal essays. Okay, they never take them. What WAS I thinking? But the editor wrote me the nicest note, explaining that she couldn't take a personal essay, but that she liked my essay. And then - she sent me a list of places where she thought my essay would be a good fit. With contact names and everything! Looking back, I find this amazing. And I still remember her in my prayers. It was an amazing gift to give a very green writer.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950448336879028108noreply@blogger.com
