Life & Times of a Writer
you did not win this contest. it was rigged. they never read your manuscript. never emailed you back (like they said they would) to even tell you who won.
wow.
you feel bummed out by this experience.
but, in another way, you're like- screw it!! did you really want your book collecting dust in a box in a warehouse out in Jersey?
Haha no. Forget that publishing house, you have your own work to do!! They can publish? So can you!! They can distribute? So can you!!
Hmm, this let down has actually enlightened you-
You want your work in people's hands, not on some bookshelf!!!
Bravo!!
Eventually, you find KICKSTARTER and your entire project is 165% funded in less than a week!! And you keep all artist control.
It is the beginning of a wondrous career. Cheers!!
