Haha, good advice... "more rejection"... toughens one up, not to take things too, too personally, and to do one's best work!
Yes, relieved book is not kicked by curbside (but, also, ambitious for a bigger publisher than offers I have & exploring options).
Thanks, for stopping by, my friend. I wish you all the best with your own fine work, dear Rowan @raj808.
Cheers, Yahia
