14 Bestselling Books That Were Repeatedly Rejected

Writers work hard at our craft, honing it, editing it, following the emotional and linguistic rhythms and meanings–but whether or not someone likes our work or thinks it is publishable is entirely subjective. Books that turned out to become bestsellers were often rejected multiple times–and if the authors had given up at those rejections, those books never would have found their readers.

I love being reminded of bestsellers that were initially frequently rejected, since I faced many rejections myself for Scars before the book found the perfect editor and publisher. I think many writers can identify.

So I delighted in this article 14 Bestselling Books Repeatedly Rejected By Publishers. Likely you’ve heard of or have read many of the titles.

Do you know any other bestselling books that were rejected multiple times?
