If at first you don't succeed...

Try again...

As George Orwell found out...

When he initially submitted Animal Farm, the publisher (Alfred Knopf) rejected the work citing as their reason that it's "impossible to sell animal stories in the USA." Some time later, another publisher initially accepted the work then turned it down complaining that "the choice of pigs as the ruling caste will no doubt give offence to many people, and particularly to anyone who is a bit touchy, as undoubtedly the Russians are."

Orwell's reply to all this: "PAH!" or as as a wise fellow once put it - if at first you don't succeed, try another publisher
