Description

“Talent is insignificant. I know a lot of talented ruins. Beyond talent lie all the usual words: discipline, love, luck, but, most of all, endurance.” –James Baldwin

The dreaded and inevitable rejection letter is an all-too familiar albatross for any writer. Rejections can take an emotional toll, especially for emerging writers, students, and those wishing for more widespread publication. Feeling a sense of loss of love for your written work is a legitimate and normal reaction, but this class will teach writers how to use that loss as an advantage.

This course will enable writers with strategic methods to handle rejection letters, both professionally and emotionally, as well as equip writers with a path forward for a potential acceptance letter.
