That’s a Terrible Idea for a Book

The truth is that almost every successful book you have ever read has been repeatedly rejected by publishers who may look back on a missed opportunity. Unless, of course, it was written by an established author with a ready made audience. So that means there will be enough material to produce an entire volume on this subject alone although in this case we will keep the examples down to around a dozen of the most famous;

Animal Farm – George Orwell
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance - Robert Pirsig
Carrie - Stephen King
On the Road - Jack Kerouac
The Tale of Peter Rabbit - Beatrix Potter
Chicken Soup for the Soul - Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen
Lolita – Vladimir Nabakov
Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone – J.K Rowling

Plus tales of rejection for;
Mary Higgins Clarke
Kenneth Grahame
Dan Brown
Paulo Coelho
Dr Suess
Margaret Mitchell
H.G Wells

And superstars who were told ‘don’t give up your day job including;
The Beatles
Elvis
Marilyn Monroe
Jimmy Hendrix
Salma Hayak
Mick Jagger
Ronald Reagan
And many more.....
