6. And remember, rejection of your work doesn’t mean rejection of you. It just means -for any number of reasons - that particular agent doesn’t feel they can sell your book. Don’t take it personally. Learn from the experience. And remember -it’s a long game. You need someone who believes in you.

It’s been so long since I posted much at the other place, I find I don’t know where to start over here, so…hello 👋
