Best of a Bad Lot: An anthology of failed rejections (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780645979206)

A friend once told me I should aim for 100 rejections in a year. She wasn't just encouraging me to set a bar that I could reach - the 100 rejection project is a real thing.

In 2021, I gave it a go. This is a collection of the pieces that found homes and some reflections on the process.

You don't normally see failure, especially in writing. This is because usually a writing failure means that no one will publish it. Thanks to self-publishing, I can now embarrass myself without needing to inconvenience a submissions editor.

It's a brave new world.
