"A Study in Scarlet" published in Beeton's Christmas Annual,1887. Where would Pulp and VSF be without him? Better check to see if you have a copy somewhere: link Rejected by a number of publishers. Oops. |

Harry Potter, Joan Jett, lots of stuff gets rejected multiple times before becoming huge. Makes you wonder what great stuff we missed because a would-have-been classic author gave up after a dozen rejections. Happy 129th, Sherlock! |

Good,if regrettable point,Andrew,and one that Mark Twain made hay of in "Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven". Here's the page: link J.R.R.Tolkien was one of a group of four close friends who made a pact to bring the wonder back to modern literature. Two of them were killed on the Somme. Fortunately for us,Tolkien was spared,but what was lost? |
