Celebrate my first picture book proposal rejection :-).

Great attitude!
-
Congratulations on being rejected! Never thought I’d ever find myself saying something like that
But I understand. Completing the dummy book is a great accomplishment and the amount of new knowledge gained from the process and feedback is tremendous. -
@xin-li yes! That’s the best feeling. I got an amazing rejection letter from a gift shop I approached about selling my notecards. It was the swanky artisan gift shop in a super expensive hotel in the mountains of NC. She said my work was lovely, my packaging was nice and suggested a few types of stores that I should try. And that they didn’t have room. So it was maybe even a “not now” rather than a no!
So, great job for coming so far in your book dummy and it being worthy of a solid crit. That is a big win! It’s a good feeling to be headed in the right direction!
