3 Reasons Why You’re Getting Rejected by Publications
Avoid these mistakes if you want to be a successful writer.
It’s incredibly difficult to get published.
At least, that’s what a lot of writers seem to think. We often work for several hours on an article, as we want our writing to resonate with our audience on a meaningful level. But when it gets rejected by a publication, it’s easy to feel like you’re not good enough, and you did all of that work for nothing.
Right? If you’re anything like my former self, that’s something which has recently crossed your mind. You want the entire world to be in awe at what you’re truly capable of achieving. But for one reason or another, you don’t know how to improve your writing and get publications to love your work.
I know exactly how you feel as I used to get rejected by publications all the time. But instead of complaining, I often spoke to the editor and made an effort to understand how I could improve. As a result of doing this, my acceptance rate massively increased. Like Roy Bennett once said:
“How much you can learn when you fail determines how far you will go into achieving your goals.”
