Managing Rejection: How to Measure Success as an Aspiring Science Fiction Author

You're chasing your dream. You spend every free moment filling page after page with science fiction and fantasy tales only your unique imagination can create.

Yet after months or even years of effort, you have only a handful of short story publications to show for it, along with hundreds of rejections.

Will it always be like this?

You dutifully log your submissions, your word counts and writing hours, but you can't help but feel like you're stuck in a rut.

How do you know if you're even getting better?

Van Alrik developed a simple metric to help you to measure how your submission history compares to the average writer's, and to track it over time.

Knowing how well you're already meeting expectations can give you the confidence you need to keep going. Before you pay an agent or author to evaluate your writing, see if you can use the data you already have to quantify how much you've improved. With detailed, easy-to-follow instructions that fit neatly into the submission tracking you already do, you can see right now where you stand.
