The Choices That Publishers Make Most

Publishing your work is tough, if you have ever submitted a manuscript to a publisher only to get rejected. Writing is a creative process that requires sweat, blood and heart. There is no successful writer that works like writing was a chore or a menial job. When you read something, and feel no heart in its creation it is not even worth reading. You might as well be writing drivel if you do not put a bit of your soul into the writing.

This is why it is so difficult for authors to accept rejections from publishing companies.What could be more painful than having that much of yourself rejected? The effort of sending out your work to have strangers read and judge their worth is spirit breaking when all you get at the end is a rejection, including rude rejections. Writers are sensitive souls, which is why they write so well. That kind of rejection can be especially hurtful for them. It is not unknown for some writers to kill themselves after many fruitless rejections.

For many, their is no point to write if no one will ever be able to read it. It seems quite fruitless to write with such passion and heart, then have it sit on a shelf, never to be seen. The fear of rejection should not hinder an author from finding a publisher. Even some of the most famous authors were rejected by dozens of publishers until they they found one who believed in their work.

In some cases, the actual quality of the work doesn't factor into a publisher's decision to accept work. Generally, publishers will choose work that has potential for a great amount of profit. They will usually choose the same conservative choices to maximize profit and unfortunately minimize selection. This of course, is not the case with all publishers, otherwise many of the literary teasures in our time would never have been seen.

If you have ever read “The Diary of Anne Frank” and felt the honesty and innocence of its young author, you never would have guessed that the diary was rejected by publishers. One of the publishers who rejected the work, went so far to say that the author of “The Diary of Anne Frank” did not have depth of feeling and only made superficial observations throughout the story.

Remember that writing is a work of art with heart and soul. If you have passion for it, let it flow and find a publisher when you’re done with your masterpiece. Naturally, this will not be the case with all publishers, especially the ones who have a view shrouded with dollar signs.
