Dear Writer
An anthology of frequently rejected fiction
While they range widely in genre, the stories in this collection all have one thing in common: they were all rejected at least ten times before being accepted for publication in this book. Rejection is part of the writing process, and Dear Writer is a clear reminder that good writing gets rejected all the time.
Edited by Jason Gong and Alan Good, Dear Writer includes fiction from Sarah Yasin, Yousef Allouzi, Lituo Huang, Karen Thrower, Anna O’Brien, Sarah Evans, Jennifer Porter, Ellen Ricks, Emad El-Din Aysha, and Rosaleen Bertolino.
