    This was an interesting article, although a little shorter than I had expected it to be. I was slightly hoping for more examples or a more in-depth look. I was shocked that Still Alice by Lisa Genova had so many rejections that she self-published. It is an fiction awesome book on a topic which is relatively rarely addressed in fiction novels (Alzheimer's). It remains one of my favorite books, albeit in a somewhat scary way. It's very haunting and will get readers to think about things from an angle they may not have before, as well as being a page-turner and very memorable. I'm so surprised that this novel got so many rejections but at the same time I'm thrilled she went ahead and self-published. It's definitely a worthwhile read.

    There’s no business more parasitic than being an editorial house. As time goes on this becomes truer.
