Tim Burton Got Rejected Too
This is what Tim Burton was working on long before he was the Tim Burton. In 1976, he submitted this children's book, The Giant Zlig,{filedir_1 to an editor at Walt Disney Productions for publishing.
Dear Sirs,
I am submitting this book in hopes that you might consider publishing it. The book has been layed [sic] out in rough form, and I would be glad to make any changes that you feel would be nessecary [sic]. I would hope to hear from you either way. Thankyou.
Sincerely
Tim Burton
Sadly, The Giant Zlig was rejected. You can see his rejection letter here. I bet that editor feels like an ass. Aren't we glad he kept at it? Take note. Perseverance, people. [Letters of Note]
