More if you count the queries to work-for-hire publishers that were never answered. But I also have four traditionally published original children's novels, Plus at least 35 work-for-hire books published. Come to think of it, that gives me a pretty low acceptance rate. But it does show the value of resilience. ☺Kris Bockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217265282250089583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-30970569330674060472017-08-07T18:08:51.794-05:002017-08-07T18:08:51.794-05:00lol.

So thank you, Rejection, for sparing my career and the world from those books. But come on! Surely there are a few mixed in that should make it on the shelf! Please?
