Sifting the Slush Pile

This probably won’t make you feel better about the next time you receive a rejection letter, but Sara E. Polsky talks about what it’s like on the other side of the desk. (For the record, I used to think I knew well how to reject other writers’ work compassionately, but when I ended up guest-editing for a literary website where authors were hopefully sending in their work–for free–I passed the buck like a wimp.)

Create a social media strategy, launch your campaign, and track the results in our Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting February 16. The online event and workshop will feature speakers including The Onion's Baratunde Thurston (left), Facebook's Morin Oluwole, and bitly's Tim Devane. Register now.
