Rejection of a Different Sort

by Jennifer Greene-Sullivan

Well, I have been so eager to be published that I have often felt that I HAD to accept whatever terms were sent to me. However, now that I have dealt with three different publishers with several different offers and books, I realize that I can reject contracts or negotiate for better terms.

I hope that this rejection will be returned with a counter offer, but if I never see a counter offer from Olympia, I know another publisher will pick it up, especially, since I still have two others who have yet to send me a contract. I rather have an agent pick me up and negotiate for me; unfortunately, it’s only me for now.

Cheers to Mr. James Houghton. I hope to hear from you again soon.

Update: No counteroffer was given. 😦

I am an English teacher, mother, and wife, but I love to write. I feel that I am blessed to be able to use my talent to write about my children's books, poems, short fiction, and parenting. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about my experiences with beginning a writing career while focusing on my children and my job. I look forward to comments and to hear from my readers!
