Jason Wallace Wins Costa Literary Award
Now here is someone who won't take “no” for an answer: writer Jason Wallace finally got his novel recognised after being turned down by ONE HUNDRED literary agents. One hundred! He could use those rejection letters as wall paper. Amazing. I think I am going to cut out that article and stick it on the wall - or keep it filed away somewhere at least.
I am a journalist working as the Media Officer for the Methodist Church in Britain, but this blog reflects my own views and not necessarily those of the organisation I work for.
