I received my ninth rejection for my novel The Overwhelming yesterday. This one was from Canongate Books, and it said: "The story is exciting, relevant and beautifully written. Though I do believe there is a market for this type of project, I do not feel it is quite right for the Canongate list at present." Now I could be disappointed. Usually when I see one of these letters on the doormatt, a feeling of dread comes over me. Oh no, not another one. But this one is different. It confirms that the novel is good and marketable. Thank you Canongate for rejecting me. I know now I won't give up.
