:hug: It's OK...my mom's a writer and she got a million rejection letters before she sold her first book. The fact that you got a personalized letter is very good sign, because it means that the editor saw potential in your book. Oftentimes certain publishers aim their upcoming catalogs toward a certain genre or audience, so being rejected doesn't mean there's any serious fault with your writing. Take any suggestions there might be in the letter, update your story with them, then shop it around to other publishers. And don't just look at the big houses, either...often, small, independent publishers are eager to publish work by new authors. Good luck. :) :hi:
