Summary
"Every writer, unpublished to bestselling, faces rejection from literary agents, editors, publishers, critics, even loved ones. In this collection of lively conversations, twenty-three successful authors talk about these experiences. Rich with personal anecdotes and stories of the publishing world, these interviews journey through the thorny thickets of rejection, criticism, and frustration and into the heart of the creative process itself. From those who know best, here are insight, inspiration, and strategies that work."--Jacket.
