    What if Dr. Seuss, J.K. Rowling and Mary Shelley Were Rejected by Agents?

    Categories: Brian Klems' The Writer's Dig Tags: Brian Klems, online editor blog.

    As writers who receive piles of rejection letters, it only seems fair that, from time to time, we be given an opportunity to return the favor. There are many books I’d love to reject (here’s my #1 choice), if only for the satisfaction of releasing some pent up frustration and envy. Or, perhaps, just to be funny. Thanks to a few witty writers, we have some fake rejection letters that are pretty hilarious. (Plus, you’re chance to write a rejection.)

    Read these rejection letters written by some of our readers:

    Reject a Hit: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein

    Reject a Hit: J.K. Rowling

    Reject a Hit: Dr. Seuss


    Reject a Hit: Marley & Me

     

    EVER WISH YOU COULD BE THE ONE DOING THE REJECTING?
    Take the WD challenge by humorously rejecting a hit in 400 words or fewer. Send your letter to wdsubmissions@fwmedia.com with “Reject a Hit” in the subject line. Yours could appear in a future issue! (Submitted pieces may be edited for space or clarity.)
