\u201cStop. STOP. No, no, read it again. This time, do the voices!” (Richard Foster)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In my last two posts (honestly, three), I promised something fun as my apology for getting super serious and boring. And so now I bring you\u2026 rejection?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, what I bring you is hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I bring you encouragement. I bring you a reminder that everyone (well, most people, probably) who\u2019ve ever succeeded have first been faced with failure and rejection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advertising icons have been rejected by agencies, neglected by creative directors, outright insulted by clients, overlooked by award committees. And did they give up? No, they didn\u2019t, and look at them today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what do we call that? Honestly, survivorship bias. But still! Rejection isn\u2019t the end, and it doesn\u2019t mean you aren\u2019t just busting with creative genius that isn\u2019t always appreciated by the people in charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mean, look at these failures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andy Warhol, Thanks But No Thanks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s right, we\u2019re kicking it off with Andy Warhol<\/a>. He reached out to the New York Museum of Modern Art to offer his drawing Shoe<\/a><\/em> as a gift. And it was, for real, so<\/em> generous of him, but they have so many gifts and so little space and it wouldn\u2019t even be displayed that much, so no, but totally, thanks for the offer.<\/p>\n\n\n

Dear Mr. Warhol:<\/p>\n

Last week our Committee on the Museum Collections held its first meeting of the fall season and had a chance to study your drawing entitled Shoe which you so generously offered as a gift to the Museum.<\/p>\n

I regret that I must report to you that the Committee decided, after careful consideration, that they ought not to accept it for our Collection.<\/p>\n

Let me explain that because of our severely limited gallery and storage space we must turn down many gifts often, since we feel it is not fair to accept as a gift a work which may be shown only infrequently.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the Committee has asked me to pass on to you their thanks for your generous expression of interest in our Collection.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,

P.S. The drawing may be picked up from the Museum at your convenience.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Gertrude Stein, Ha Ha You Write Funny<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Arthur C. Fifield rejected an unnamed manuscript from Gertrude Stein, telling her in a Stein-style verse that he didn\u2019t even have time to read her work, and that one glance was enough to know the book would barely sell a single copy. Adorable! Except not, you dick<\/em>. He apparently had enough time to mock her style of poetry, but not enough to read the manuscript that would later be published as The Making of Americans: Being a History of a Family\u2019s Progress<\/em> and sell, one can assume, more than one copy.<\/p>\n\n\n

Dear Madam,<\/p>\n

I am only one, one at the same time. Not two, not three, only one. Only one life to live, only sixty minutes in one hour. Only one pair of eyes. Only one brain. Only one being. Being only one, having only one pair of eyes, having only one time, having only one life, I cannot read your M.S. three or four times. Not even one time. Only one look, only one look is enough. Hardly one copy would sell here. Hardly one. Hardly one.<\/p>\n

Many thanks. I am returning this M.S. by registered post. Only one M.S. by one post.<\/p>\n

Sincerely yours,

Alice Walker, Too\u2026 Enthusiastic?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why did Viking Press reject Alice Walker<\/a>\u2019s The Color Purple<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too many exclamation points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I kid you not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even I, who\u2019ve never met an exclamation point I didn\u2019t want to get rid of (and rightly so), would probably be able to look past the exclamation points in The Color Purple<\/em> and get it into circulation at my rhetorical publishing house.<\/p>\n\n\n

Ms. Walker,<\/p>\n

While your piece, \u201cThe Color Purple,\u201d presents a compelling and thoroughly moving narrative, we were bothered by your decision to end every sentence with an exclamation point. As a reader, this was extremely jarring. I am afraid, for this reason, we are forced to make the difficult decision to pass on your manuscript.<\/p>\n

Best of luck,

You, Down But Not Out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I despair that I can\u2019t find the full letter from Donald A. Wollheim at Ace Books to Stephen King<\/a>, in re: Carrie<\/em>, including this prediction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

We are not interested in science fiction which deals with negative utopias. They do not sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, you should remember one thing about your work: Maybe it really does suck. Plenty of work sucks. But maybe it doesn\u2019t.<\/em> Keep your chin up, seek (and accept) feedback, and if it really is worth pursuing, put your head down and pursue it. Could you be the next Andy Warhol?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No. You could not. But you could still be successful within your weight class, rejection \u2014 even fairly high-level rejection \u2014 or notwithstanding. Try, try again. I mean, don\u2019t be stupid about it, but keep trying. I have faith in you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
