Olusola Anyanwu asked Mary E. DeMuth:

You have different publishers for your different books. Have you ever experienced being rejected by a publisher? What would you advice new authors about their works not ending up in a slush pile?

Mary E. DeMuth Oh yes, I've been rejected a lot. First, you have to settle your worth. (Your worth is not tied to rejection or acceptance). Second, if you're a novelist, have a professional look at what you've done so you are putting your best novel forward. If you write nonfiction, your proposal has to shine. I have a tutorial and template here:https://www.writermastermind.com/store/
