(Online) Ask a Pro: Rejection Letters with Teresa Carpenter

Interpreting Rejection Letters and Critique/Reader Comments.

There are 5 different rejection letters you can receive from agents and editors. From a flat no thank you to an actual revision letter. Come learn the nuances of each type of letter and how you can turn that “No Thanks” into a new opportunity.

We’ll also address comments received from editors, agents, critiques, and beta readers. Ever get a comment like, “What’s with the ghost? Is it needed?” You read that and think, duh, it’s a ghost. What this comment means is the reader doesn’t see the purpose the ghost serves.

Your choice then becomes the need to better communicate the purpose of the ghost or remove it altogether. But which? Comments can help with this decision too. Learn to decode your feedback and make it work for you.
