How should I handle rejections from authors?

Handling rejections can be tough, but it's important to remember that it's a normal part of the process. What specifically are you struggling with?

I feel discouraged every time I get a rejection.

It's completely natural to feel that way. Try to view each rejection as a step towards finding the right fit for your work. Have you considered seeking feedback?

I haven't, but that sounds like a good idea. How do I ask for feedback?

You can politely ask the author if they could provide any insights on why your work wasn't selected. Most appreciate the effort and may offer valuable advice.
