Famous Authors' Rejections

by Fred on 5-12-2009 • Category: Miscellany • 2 comments

The Cincinnati Examiner ran an article about rejections that thirty famous authors received from publishers.  I'm glad I've never received a rejection as caustic as some of the ones listed; but if I ever do, I can console myself with the knowledge that William Faulkner and Vladimir Nabokov got the same treatment.

The link for the reject article is broken, probably because the articles are archived. But I found them and want to thank you for posting this, although I'm late getting here. Here's a link that worked for me: http://www.examiner.com/x-562-Book-Examiner~y2009m3d20-20-famous-authors-who-were-rejected-repeatedly-and-sometimes-rudely-by-publishers

Thanks for letting me know, Kaye. I corrected the link in my post.
