I got rejected by every literary agent and publisher. This is what happened next.

In 2010 I began sending query letters to literary agents. I didn't know how to cope with what happened after that. This is my journey.

So guys, I'm sure you're probably wondering - where on Earth have I been?! Well, I will explain everything in another video! But I've basically spent lockdown writing like crazy, and I finished my new novel Overworld! For now, I hope you enjoy this short film about my journey to get to this point, and I hope you're all doing okay during these strange times.

Joseph, your video was inspirational. I have been writing my book for 8, yes 8 years, and rewriting and rewriting and being rejected. I was about to give up when i came across your video. I am going to give it one last rewrite and try. Thanks Joe. I wish you all the very best.

Very proud of you, bro! I, myself, as a writer understand how rejection feels but very few understand that rejection is just a part of the game!
