This caught my attention, "Thank you Papa Hemingway. By
the way, Ernest Hemingway self-published his first book, Three Stories and Ten
Poems, after a rejection letter and look at his success! What the author whose
work was rejected, (there's that unpleasant word again), should have done is
bitch and moan in private and then send a polite letter or email to the agent
thanking her for taking time to read his manuscript."
The quote is taken from an article on Huff Post by Kristen Houghton: The Savvy Author: What You Really Need to Know to BeSuccessful
I just got a poetry rejection, after waiting three months,
from a fabulous magazine, so I goggled "sample of thank you letter for rejection by
publisher" and got the following: On Writer's Relief, Famous Author Rejection Letters: True Stories Of Unbelievable Rejections. An excellent article with lots of worthwhile comments
but does not have a letter to a rejection. But in other sites, according to
what I read, my rejection invites me to continue submitting work: "We do,
however, look forward to reading more” that put a smile on my face. I will
reply by sending a couple of more poems.
