Rejected...

My dream to have a book published is still a long way off. Helps if I've actually written it but give me some credit I am trying to string sentences together. Anyway I've found a list of people who have had their books originally rejected by publishers.

The Time Machine by HG Wells
The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by JK Rowling
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
Moby Dick by Herman Melville
Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen
The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame
A Time to Kill by John Grisham
Catch 22 by Joseph Heller
Lord of the Flies by William Golding

Seeing this list makes me feel a bit better then again perhaps not!
