What authors usually misunderstand
Authors sometimes fear rejection means losing rights or being blacklisted.
FloodGate's approach
Rejection is a professional decision, not a judgment on you as a writer. We are direct and respectful in all communications.
What this means for you
Not every manuscript will be accepted. That is normal. Your work remains yours.
