Rejection and Perseverance

Currently I've received 6 rejection letters :) from publishers in regard to my children's book. The kindest rejection letter was actually personal - Yay! - and telling me that I should pursue getting the book printed on my own as it's pretty much ready to go, is strong in writing and concept, and is visually appealing - so at least that's good news! Anyhow, I am now pursuing getting the book ready for print and in the talks with a printing house. Learning so much about publishing, layout, getting ISBN numbers, etc. The next area of learning in regard to this project will be marketing and promo! So all in all, things are moving ahead!
