77 Rejections: Some kind of record?

V-Man · Nov 7, 2010

I thought about calling Guinness to check into this, but it really doesn't matter anymore since I got that one acceptance!

Just signed a contract with Solstice Publishing for BURNOUT, my first mystery novel. I'm already knee-deep in revisions but hopefully it won't be too long before the reading world is formally introduced to Goosey Larsen, the fattest, laziest excuse for a detective in Charleston, SC.

More details to follow, but for now it's back to the grind!

Way2go & congrats, V-Man, on getting your novel pubbed! I have two pic. books with them and they're very nice to work with. Here's :Cake:

Congrats, and this sounds like fun especially with the mention of my hometown, Charleston, SC.

Nice and way to keep pushing through until you get that one!!!

Manuel Royal · Nov 7, 2010

Fantastic! I hope it feels all the sweeter for having taken such persistence.

You are now signed with an agent after 77 rejections? That is so wonderful, V-man. You are an inspiration, because you did not give up. Congratulations

Forbidden Snowflake · Nov 7, 2010

Congrats

That is way awesome!

Undercover · Nov 7, 2010

WOW...so cool, congrats.

I signed on with Solstice too, for a picture book.

heyjude · Nov 7, 2010

Yay V-Man! Congratulations!

jeseymour · Nov 7, 2010

Congrats! I have you beat on rejections though, with at least 80 from agents and many more from publishers on Lead Poisoning.

Calla Lily · Nov 7, 2010

Congrats!

Um.... 185 Rs here.

And yes, it makes that book cover look even better.

leahzero · Nov 7, 2010

Congrats, V, and all others who've been down the same path. Like they say: it only takes one yes.

Mystery1 · Nov 7, 2010

Congratulations, V-Man.

77? A record? Wait a sec, I should get up off the floor before I continue.

Nope, you're an overnight success compared to some of us.

CGs and enjoy the upcoming process!

jilly61 · Nov 8, 2010

Congratulations and the best of luck with the revisions. :hooray:
