Barry Farber, a successful American consultant, was rejected 26 times until he was able to publish his first book.
When he was rejected for the sixth time, he made a phone call to the publishing company.
“What should I do to publish my book? Please tell me what I’m lacking in.”
From that time forth, whenever he was rejected, he asked the editors what his manuscript was lacking in and took the necessary steps to make up for it.
Finally, he received an offer to publish his book, and he said.
“This book includes advice from 26 competent editors.”
