Today's episode is all about dealing with rejection, and we're happy to be joined by guest authors Katherine Forrister & Ahmed G. Letterman

Rejection - every author faces it in one way or another, yet many don't talk about it, so let's dive in! We'll talk about our personal experiences with rejection, both with agents and readers, and how we navigate the minefield while keeping a positive attitude(most of the time - hey, we're all human).
