Richard Adams' "Watership Down" was rejected by 13 publishers before being accepted. Dr. Seuss has said that his first book, "And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street" was rejected by 42 or 43 publishers; so many that he lost track of the exact number. Ask Roz Gibson, who wrote that review, how many publishers have rejected her manuscript -- or just not replied after over two years, at which point she asked for her manuscript back so she could submit it elsewhere. This is a manuscript that several fans have read and think is both an excellent s-f novel and an excellent Furry novel.
