<\/a>Writers get rejected. It\u2019s a fact of life, but it can still be difficult to swallow. In this session, we\u2019ll examine literary rejection in all its glory by exploring actual rejections, including the famous, the funny, the crazy, and the bizarre. We\u2019ll consider why literary rejection stings, break down the most common reasons for rejection, discuss the best ways to handle it, and develop strategies to turn that \u201cno\u201d into a \u201cyes.\u201d This session is led by a widely rejected (and <\/i>published) writer and editor. No one will be rejected from this session! Presenter Laura Maylene Walter offers additional details below. <\/strong><\/p>\nWho should attend? What can attendees expect from your workshop?

\n<\/strong>Any writer who ever has or ever will be rejected.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The venting of frustrations. The sharing of ridiculous\/heartbreaking\/agonizing rejections. A behind-the-scenes look at rejection from the fiction editor of Mid-American Review<\/em>. And, most of all, a practical look at why your work is being rejected.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>During this session, you’ll have the exclusive opportunity to take a peek at my rejection wall of shame, aka a display of years and years of my personal rejection documentation. Come and bask in the glory of my failure.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>You can only prevent rejection if you stop submitting.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI love my rejection slips. They show me I try.\u201d\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Sylvia Plath<\/p>\n
