The art of rejection

I have fallen crazy mad nutty in love with The Rejectionist, a blog which I gather is written by a literary agent’s brilliant, snarky assistant. Even though this agency seems to handle mostly fiction, which I do not write, I’m still loving the dark and tangy insight into the part of the publishing industry I never get to see. My own agent, much as I like her, would never say these things. I’m filled with the utmost of glee every time a new post appears.

Recently, the genius behind the blog asked her readers to compete in writing the best “sorry, our agency will not be representing you” rejection letter. The results made me laugh so hard, I was afraid I’d have a childish accident. Go. Read. Enjoy. And remember, don’t fuck with the assistant.
