Where does one go from here?
Wyatt Garcia
Draw them in
Christian Bailey
I tried my best already.
Ryan Butler
I guess what they were saying was your query was better than the book
Blake Richardson
Some publisher asked for my full manuscript a week or two ago, so I'm hoping that goes well. Might be a while until I hear back
Lucas Thomas

Now that you've been rejected, please get to work on killing yourself.
Matthew Perez
Seeing as you have been rejected, I implore you to commence the act of self-termination
Angel Gonzalez
Know that it's not personal and that people less talented than you have gotten published just as people more talented than you have not.
Don't aim for acceptance, aim for getting like 50 rejection letters within the next year, it's all about frame of mind, something something you miss 100% of the shots you don't take, if you aim for rejection as default anything beyond that is a bonus and you may not feel so low when they come pouring in.
Keep it up I believe in you
Brandon Roberts
and I'll tell you if it just sucks or not.

you have to give them a blowjob, it's the only way to move forward in this business

Resubmit it using an alias of a black woman and it will be accepted
Justin Gray
Not him, but I always thought this was a meme. That was before I started compiling agents that I was planning on querying, and ~80% say they are looking for same sex relationships (not exclusively, but preferred).
Really makes me worried. Both for my ability to get published, writing things that have a classical heterosexual romance, and for kids these days.
John Johnson
What publishers and how'd you go about doing so?
Hudson Allen
Look into chaos magick
Michael Edwards
Write something of a classical heterosexual romance and then change one of the characters into the same sex. They are not selling gayness just the fact that they are gay.
Ethan Smith
I've thought about doing this.
It's tough to swallow my pride.

There was a man who got pretty well known for submitting a poem, having it rejected, resubmitting under an Asian name, and having it praised or something.
How Yea Forums of all places can still be leftish with this ugly fact preventing at least some of the aspiring writers here from ever having a career is beyond me.

Put some more flair into your words.
Editors are pseuds, it might get them wet.
