The Importance of Paying Attention to Why You're Being Rejected

I've also been rejected by editors who say that they love my work. The marketplace really is very, very competitive. It's so competitive that they can afford to turn down things that they love because they aren't perfect. And no book is ever going to be perfect, perfect. But paying attention to the reasons that you're being rejected and the feedback that you're receiving so that you can make your book even better is important.
