About Me
- Writer, Rejected
- I am a published, award-winning author of fiction and creative nonfiction--but whatever. In the eyes of many, I am still a literary reject.
Rules of the Game
ew.com blog review
"Failure is the New Funny. Whether you're a writer ... or a bookworm ... Literary Rejections on Display is worth checking out."
The Boston Phoenix Rises
"Might we suggest whiling away the hours with Literary Rejections On Display? We've been hooked for the last couple of weeks..."
LROD On The Couch
"An author who, like the rest of us, experiences many more rejections than acceptances."
Blogher Offers a Female Nod
"And since something isn't really something until there's a blog about it, I give you Literary Rejections on Display."
Gawker Gawks LROD
"A reminder of the competitive pressures that help drive some authors to start plagiarizing and making things up."
GALLEYCAT Chimes In
"Excellent blog."
Poets & Writers Questions LROD
"Isn't it part of the writer's job to learn from--rather than reject--rejection?"
HTML GIANT Confesses
"I am sort of addicted to this site. I go through phases: I check it regularly, then I stop myself and ignore it for several months. Then I remember it again and sift through its wreckage."
The Village Voice Bitches About LROD
"Deliberately composed of unpublished individuals who wear their rejection slips as badges of integrity."
