Literary Rejections Exposed!

Yesterday the NYT reported on the departure of Becky Saletan as the head of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt's adult trade division.

Wow! Seems not a week goes by without the company making it into the news

A few clicks later I stumble on this entry strangely dated 2007 but mainly commented on yesterday.

What a great idea! Rejections are universal but they have a particular meaning when one has spent months or years toiling in isolation over blank pages, words, commas and periods.

So here it is -- if you have a few minutes to kill, if it is raining outside, or if you're in a self-pitying mood and want a sure way to feel better, take a scroll down literaryrejectionsondisplay.
