Writer Rejection: 7 Reasons Why Publishers Reject Manuscripts by IssacharProject: 2:52pm On Dec 03, 2019
Writer rejection is always a part of a writer’s life. If you are a writer, rejections are not only unavoidable but somewhat a fact of life-related in your writing career.

In spite of that, it is quite comforting that even the most famous writers in the world have faced rejections at some point in their lives. Take J.K. Rowling, for example, a best-selling author, she posted her rejection letter in Twitter, even after the success of her Harry Potter series to encourage aspiring to writers to never give up on their dreams.
When You Experience Writer Rejection

If you’ve ever had your manuscript submissions rejected by a publisher, you’re in good company. As mentioned before, even authors of Times best-seller books and all other greatest writers have been rejected at least once. If you have a dream of one day becoming a published author, the best thing is to not take it personally. Overcome your fear of rejection.

Don’t stop writing, just because a certain publisher does not want to take it on doesn’t mean that your writing is not worth sending out again. A person’s opinion is not a true reflection of your work, but you should pay attention to it.

Publishers have extremely high standards. They put all their money, time, and effort into publishing and marketing books. Manuscripts red flags that publishers normally noticed include overly use of flowery words, bad grammar, and spelling. If yours isn’t up to par, they have no qualms about rejecting you right off the bat. So, rather than letting it turn you away from writing, learn from the process. Recognize that there are numerous avenues for getting your writing published.

Good points.

But it's majorly because many writers fail to engage the services of a professional book editor to edit their books.
