Rejection letters and presents: how to get a publisher’s attention

You have to be prepared to accept rejection, or the glimmer of hope with a 'nice' rejection letter. If you are passionate about your stories and never give up, one day you will "get the call" to get published.

About Margaret Tanner

Margaret Tanner is a multi-published award winning Australian author. She loves delving into the pages of history as she carries out research for her historical romance novels, and prides herself on being historically accurate. No book is too old or tattered for her to trawl through, no museum too dusty, or cemetery too overgrown. Many of her novels have been inspired by true events, with one being written around the hardships and triumphs of her pioneering ancestors in frontier Australia. As part of her research she has visited the World War I battlefields in France and Belgium, a truly poignant experience. Margaret is a member of the Melbourne Romance Writers Group (MRWG).
