Handling Rejection
You've spent months, perhaps years, composing
your novel. You've read and reread it hundreds
of times. You've rethought it, rewritten it,
revised it, changed characters, dialogue, plot
lines...You have finally considered it finished.
Armed with optimism and self-confidence, you
obtain a list of agents and begin to canvas
agents...Weeks go by, then months. They are, you
believe, reading it in the office, passing it
around, deciding to take it on. You live on such
hopes. Finally...a form letter...You feel lost,
adrift. Rejection after rejection has beaten you
down. You see this as the end of your world, the
end of your hopes and dreams...What now?...You
have three choices... See
complete story.

Can a Powerful Media "Create" a
President?
 This
is the central theme posed by
The Henderson Equation, the featured book
for February. The novel deals with the owners
and editors of a powerful Washington newspaper
that has just brought down a President and
now, flushed with power, make a calculated
decision to put a candidate of their choice in
the White House. Many critics charged that
this was a "roman a clef" based on the
Washington Post's relentless pursuit of
Richard Nixon, which resulted in his eventual
resignation. Mr. Adler admits to the
similarities, and many readers contend that
the book is as relevant today as it was when
it was first published.
Read it and see if you agree.
