Experienced authors frequently suffer rejection and they've got slips to prove it (I've got a pile a mile high :-)
The best way to handle this is to maintain a middle course on book proposals: don't get overexcited on acceptance and never become unduly depressed over rejection.
You reckon your text is brilliant, you've hit the target dead center, you've answered the WIIFM question and you are certain of its bestseller potential.
But the publisher doesn't agree...
Accept it. Publishing houses invariably know whether or not a book will sell in given market conditions - and if it goes pear shape, they and not you incur financial loss.
So what to do?
Hold on to your manuscript (you'll find out why in a minute) pick yourself up and start immediately on the next project.
