I think a lot of people will recognise the
experience recounted to the Scottish Herald newspaper by JK Rowling, who has
spoken about her frustration after receiving often terse rejections from
publishers for her Harry Potter and Robert Galbraith crime novels.
The
Edinburgh writer took to social media to describe some of the rude snubs she has
received from the industry over the years.
The
rudest rejection I ever had (and I’ve had plenty of rejections) was from an
agent who scribbled a vulgar message on a rejection card for sending four
sample chapters not three. Courtesy, as they say, costs nothing.
