The Realities of Author Rejection: What Happens After You Submit Your Book
You’ve poured your heart into your manuscript, polished your proposal, and finally hit submit. Now what?
In this episode of Your Path to Publish, we’re tackling one of the hardest parts of the publishing process—rejection. Whether you’ve already received a “thanks, but no thanks” or you’re dreading your first, this episode will help you reframe rejection and stay in the game.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL LEARN:
- What actually happens after you submit your book to an agent or publisher
- Why rejection is often about timing, trends, or editorial fit—not your talent
- Productive ways to respond to rejection and stay motivated
- How to use feedback, revise your submission, and keep pitching
- Why some authors turn rejection into opportunity through self-publishing or resubmission
If rejection has made you question your book’s future, this episode is your reminder that you’re not alone—and you’re not out of options.
Stay tuned until the end to hear how one bestselling series almost didn’t make it—and what you can do today to keep moving forward.
