In this Kate and Katherine discuss the art of the interview.
Agony Aunt Charlotte Wood answers this question:
How do you keep believing in a manuscript and yourself, in the face of rejection. I know in theory that what I have written is okay. But any rejections I receive seem to bear so much more weight in my mind compared to the positive comments or interest I’ve received. Any tips for keeping pride and faith in your work when it’s out in the query trenches.
