Rejecting A Wrinkle In Time
Season 5
Episode 14
Published 1 year, 11 months ago
Description
A Wrinkle In Time has sold 16 million copies worldwide. Time Magazine named it one of the 100 best fantasy books ever written, and the 1962 bestseller is still in print today. But when established author Madeleine L’Engle first pitched the novel to publishers, she was told it was too…strange. 10 years of rejection. 30 rejection letters from editors. One great gesture of renunciation.
This rejection story is out of this world.
