Your consistency and courage to continue writing despite multiple rejections is nothing short of remarkable.

Your success story is really inspiring and serves as a healing balm to those who’re currently struggling with rejection from book agents/publishers.

Congratulations, big O! You deserve all the good things coming your way and more.

Yinkee, this has me in tears.

Happy tears. Proud ones.

Your determination to keep going despite all the rejections is truly a core factor of massive success. You're a strong one and I'm proud to have had a glimpse of your journey.

You deserve every bit of the success I know that TCV will get. Every bit of it because not only are you a brilliant writer, you're also one determined to vouch for your work.

Thank you for sharing, I loved this. It's definitely reignited something in me.

Also, I'm glad my book recommendation partly had a hand in you publishing this!
