How to Turn Rejections into Opportunities
Webinar Presented by Kathie McMahon
You’ve finished your manuscript and had it critiqued and beta-read. You revised and edited and made it the best it could be. You researched agents and editors and crafted the perfect query letter. Holding your breath, you press the “Send” button. Then the rejections start coming in. That feeling of exhilaration of submitting your work has turned into mountains of disappointment. This workshop will guide you through the discouragement that comes from rejections, and how to turn those moments into opportunities you never anticipated. Learn what to expect after you hit the “Send” button and how to turn lemons into lemonade.
