No, seriously, this was a pretty darned good rejection. I had sent The Bone House, my thriller play, to be considered for publishing and I just received an email from the publisher, who loved the script. The problem was she didn't think she could sell it to her marketplace (academics and community groups).
I'm going to use this rejection as an example to new writers about how even good manuscripts won't find homes right away. I'm thrilled that the publisher loved the script and I totally see why she had to pass on it. Does it make the rejection easier to bear? You bet!
