Rethinking Rejection: Revising Our Relationship to “No”


Does fear of rejections feel like an obstacle in your quest to becoming traditionally published? Do you find yourself procrastinating submissions or suffering painfully when a rejection comes in? In this workshop, we will redefine the premise through which we think about rejection and come away with a new perspective on how to see rejection as a gift in the process of finding the right home for our work.

Lecture replays are available after the free trial ends. To end your trial early, email brooke@inkedvoices.com .
