Then, man began chiseling language onto stone tablets—6,000 years ago. The written word was portable. But it was still expensive and time consuming.
Despite modern advances in printing technology, the publishing industry still lives with the same basic problem. Most printing presses today remain labor-intensive and therefore expensive to set up. As a result, only a very small percentage of authors who write are ever published. Those who receive rejections are in very good company, as the following authors, and many more, were, at some point, turned down by a publisher: Mark Twain, Shakespeare, Dr. Seuss, Steven King, George Orwell and Agatha Christie. The list goes on and on.
