#110 How to Get Published: Handle Rejections However You Want

In this mini-episode, “Handle Rejections However You Want,” I dive into strategies for dealing with the inevitable rejections we face as writers. Drawing from my 14 years on Room's editorial collective and my work with luminous writers, I offer insights on turning rejection into resilience. You'll learn about creating a 'wins' folder, developing a feedback filter, and even how to gamify the submission process. Remember, there's no “right way” to handle rejections—I'm here to encourage you to find what works best for you. Tune in for practical tips and a boost of confidence in your writing journey!
