I am fed up with the rejection letters, is there a place to send my work, with decent editors?

Answer 1

I understand your frustration. I don't know if your work is good, but there is a great possibility that it actually is good and the editors aren't, or are just looking for a different thing or something. Don't let the rejection letters get you down, many good writers had to knock on a lot of doors until someone accepted to publish their work (I'm sure you heard this cliché 1000 times, but it's true).

I would suggest you try a different approach. Create a website or a weblog where you publish a part of your book everyday. Tell your friends, publicise it on related forums and groups (just don't spam!) and if your work is really good people will keep visiting your site to read it everyday. If the website gets a great number of visitors everyone will notice it and you'll get a publisher in no time. At least in my country (Portugal) there have been several blogs turned into books already. It could be a good idea. You have nothing to lose. Think about it. And good luck!

Answer 2

Well it depends on what you call a "decent editor". Some of the better editors are more discriminatory about the work that they accept in contrast to some of the less experienced and and skilled editors who will probably take anybody's work.

Answer 3

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me". The fact that your work is being rejected does not mean that the editors are bad. It mean either your work is not want they are looking for; crap; beyod the scope of what they publish... etc.

Saying that the editors are lacking in skill is your frustration coming out. You have to 'kiss a lot of frogs to find a prince'. Keep working. If your work has merit, sooner or later some one will acknowledge it.

Answer 4

Don't send your transcripts/proofs to major publishers. You're more likely NOT to get published that way. Start out by submitting your work to small, independent publishers (e-zines, college literary journals, etc.). A great place to obtain a list of this types of publishers is the English department at your local college or university. They will most always be able to refer you to a website or publication that provides this type of information.

Answer 5

keep sending it across to editors .....remember that most famous authors were rejected several times before being accepted. patience my friend , patience

Answer 6

Perhaps you could pretend that your question is a piece of your work and make it more complete.

What is your work and who has rejected it so far?

Answer 7
