However, I have a couple of friends who have written for Carina, and they were very disappointed with the experience, so you may not have missed out on much. I've been rejected dozens of times by dozens of editors and agents over the years, so I probably should be immune to the disappointment and self-doubt by now, but I'm not. I know EXACTLY how you're feeling. My advice - always have a Plan B, and C, and D. So many readers love your work; they can't be wrong.
