“I kept writing short stories and sending out my manuscript, and it kept coming back like a bad penny. It was rejected all over town, quite often in very complimentary terms, but rejected nonetheless. Agents would return it saying that they loved it but didn't think they could sell it, or they would ask if I could change the collection into linked stories.” IfsThinkingWritingStoriesAsksTermReturnTownsSellsAgentsIf I CouldCollectionsShort StoryRejectedLinkedComing BackPenniesManuscriptsWriting ShortWriting Short Stories Author:Debra Dean
