Never Give Up
Match the rejection to the book
“We are not interested in science fiction which
deals with negative utopias. They do not sell.”



“His frenetic and scrambled prose perfectly
express the feverish travels of the Beat
Generation. But is that enough? I don’t think
so.”



“It is impossible to sell animal stories in the USA.”
