If you're not getting a rejection every week of the year, you're Roxane Gay.

Or you're not submitting enough.

From reading these threads I think newfags are missing the point of this meme. Too many teens on 4chan now

Being honest, do you think it'll help that I have an incredibly ethnic name? Will that earn me some sort of credibility in their eyes, that I'm not just another white guy (which I am)?

This isn't my name, but it's something like Hector Moreno Ortega
does that mean I'll get to be the next Junot Diaz?

Because it's all about the Benjamins. If there's no ready mass market for your book, forget it.

Just self-publish an e-book instead. It won't make you much money, but it will lower your frustration and maybe even get you noticed.
