I found the following at nielsenhayden.com/makingl...ml#004641. and have a question.
-------------------------------------------------------
this is the part I question:
Quote:
Anyway, as I was saying, it realio trulio honestly isn’t about you the writer per se. If you got rejected, it wasn’t because we think you’re an inadequate human being. We just don’t want to buy your book. To tell you the truth, chances are we didn’t even register your existence as a unique and individual human being. You know your heart and soul are stapled to that manuscript, but what we see are the words on the paper. And that’s as it should be, because when readers buy our books, the words on the paper are what they get.
-------------------------------------------------------
I agree with the words, but question the sincerity of the author writing them. Is it me or does the rest of the article seem to sound contrary to this quote?
