Rejection #14

Rejection #14 Sarah Ballard - United Agents

Dear Dominic,


I’m really mortified to realise that I haven’t responded to your submission of April last year. I had warned you I would take a while, but that really was far longer than I has anticipated!


I read your apostles submission a little while ago now, and I’m sorry to say that my gut feeling was that, despite the obvious ease of your prose, this wasn’t for me. I simply didn’t fall in love with it as I’d hoped to.


I’m sorry to disappoint you – and to have taken such a very long time to reply.....So do please forgive me. I hope it didn’t seem like apathy on my part.


I’m sure you’ll find someone who feels confident about taking this forward very soon – perhaps you have already - and I wish you well with it.


All good wishes


Sarah

Rejection #12 Sophie Barnes

Dear Dominic

I have been checking through old emails and see that I failed to reply to you. I am very sorry, this was caught up in Spam.

I am afraid this is not the sort of thing I am looking for at the moment, so must pass on this occasion.

Thanks for thinking of me though and sorry for the long wait.

All best wishes and luck

Rejection #4 Artellus Ltd

I got to this quickly - I'm sorry it needs more dazzle to compete in a very competitive mainstream market - the dialogue seems flat - many undeveloped good ideas. But there are some things brought up as ornaments with no narrative purpose.

Sorry - you seem to have a good audience already - reactions to fiction is always subjective of course - good luck.

Rejection #1 Christopher Little

Dear Dominic

Thank you for your email and the attached sample of your novel.

I’m really sorry but as an already very full agency we need to be highly selective with new authors and I regret I am unable to help you on this occasion.

I wish you every success with your writing in the future and thank you once again for your enquiry.

Best wishes

This is a standard rejection:

"I am sorry, but this is not presently what we are looking for. We wish you the best of luck in placing your work elsewhere."

This blog is about the rejections gained for The Apostles Sacrament which is my fourth title. I self published my first book The Storms of Acias back in 2005, its on Amazon or my website if you are intrested.

This is just a placeholder until the first few rejections come in.
