A Note from a Rejectee

We have received so many grateful responses since we released The Rejection Generator. Here is just one writer’s story of how the generator helped her.

Dear Editors,

Well, all I can say is YOUR LOSS. Someday I’m going to make millions of dollars, but unfortunately for you, you will never see a penny of it. We could have become rich together, but now you’ll never know. Just to be clear, both my mother AND my best friend said that my book was the best one they had ever read. And my mom should know, because she has red EVERY SINGLE Nora Roberts book there is. Also, my best-friend said that my book has the potential to be BIGGER than Harry Potter. Yes Sirrrrrrrrrrrrrrr… Bet you wish you could have it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But no, you have already rejected me, and once someone is on my bad list, they are on it FOREVER!!!!!!

So goodbye to you and your sorry-ass publishing firm.

Yours Sincerely,
Mary Lisa Bailess, aka the next Stephen King, and you just turned me down (but don’t despair, maybe I’ll throw you a bone when my sales Eclipse Stephanie Myers). Idiots.

Note: Mary is the author of The Wedding Macabre, which will be available on Amazon starting April 20.

The Stoneslide Corrective is dead. Long live The Stoneslide.

 

Stoneslide has been reborn. We’ve shaken the dark ash off of our feathers, and we are resplendent once again. But we’re now at thestoneslide.com. This site will remain as an archive of The Stoneslide Corrective.

Thank you for reading. Check out the new plumage at thestoneslide.com.

Back Stoneslide today!

We’re running a Kickstarter campaign to help us produce our first print edition. You can support everything Stoneslide does and get your own copy of a beautiful, new magazine.

Go on, you know you want to give us a kick!
