Flipping the Script on Rejection and Criticism
Manage episode 402372919 series 3391468
How do you deal with rejection, negative criticism, and disappointment?
In this week's Quick Tips, we're giving you our best advice to overcome the negativity and flip the switch to a positive mindset.
There are all kinds of disappointments in this job. Rejections from agents and editors, fizzled launches, and one-star reviews.
Our advice?
- Remember this business, like so many others, is all about relationships.
- Analyze the data. If you get a negative review, assess whether that person was really your target audience, or if there's truly an issue in your book that should be addressed.
- Spin it to a positive. That one-star review that wasn't your audience, may actually draw in your true target. A rejection from an agent with feedback might help you pitch better next time.
- Reward your wins. Post the good stuff prominently in your workspace and refer to to frequently to keep yourself motivated.
We talk about all this and more, so tune in!
Don't forget!
The Writing Romance Mastery Summit will take place from February 19, 2024 through February 23, 2024, and we promise it’ll be a top-notch event. Paula Judith is bringing together the biggest names and most knowledgeable experts to share their best secrets.
We're proud to be included in this year's lineup of guests, talking about how to decide if you should self-publish or get an agent. By clicking this link, we may earn a commission from your purchase, at no additional cost to you.
