After submitting her article and facing a dismissive editorial interview, she receives blunt feedback that her piece lacks depth, inspiration, and provocative quality. Despite the rejection, Gemma reflects on prior efforts, the support of a friend at the publication, and her own strengths as a hopeful entertainment journalist while her confidence begins to fracture.","Table of Contents  \nCover  \nTable of Contents  \nLook for these titles from Kat Logan  \nTitle Page  \nCopyright Warning  \nChapter One  \nChapter Two  \nChapter Three  \nChapter Four  \nChapter Five  \nChapter Six  \nChapter Seven  \nChapter Eight  \nChapter Nine  \nChapter Ten  \nChapter Eleven  \nChapter Twelve  \nChapter Thirteen  \nChapter Fourteen  \nChapter Fifteen  \nChapter Sixteen  \nEpilogue  \nAbout the Author  \nAlso by Kat Logan  \nMore Romance from Etopia Press  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nLook for these titles from Kat Logan Now Available  \nPlaying it Out Striking a Chord Healing Their Hearts Rocking the House  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nRocking the House MMFMénage Romance Kat Logan  \nEtopia Press  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nCopyright Warning  \nEBooks are not transferable.

One…chance…” I slid the two pieces of paper across the desk with a weak smile, hoping the man with thered tie would take one more look at them.  \nHe didn’t even glance down at my article.“I’m sorry, Miss Jones, but you’re just not showing us you have what it takes to publish with Rocking the House. We appreciate your efforts and your eagerness, but with the sheer volume of submissions we get daily, we aren’t going to publish something mediocre.”  \nThe man’s words stung as he slid the papers back to me. Once again, I forced a smile. This wasn’t the first time I’d tried to get my work in Rocking the House, the hottest music scene publication out right now, but it was quickly looking like the last.  \n“Come on, I would hardly call my work mediocre,” I replied with a pained laugh. I tried giving him my best winning smile, hoping to turn the tide in my favor, but the cold stare he continued to give me didn’t give me much hope of getting anywhere.  \n“What would you call it, Miss Jones? This article is uninspired and shallow. If we’re going to use a freelancer, we need something deeper, something that looks behind the curtain, not to mention something provocative. That isn’t what you’re showing me.” He shrugged.“I know you have a friend here who sings the praises of your writing, but I don’t see it in this piece.”  \nHis words hung awkwardly in the air. I opened my mouth to give him atart reply, but I closed it again when nothing witty came to mind. Allison Beale, one of my good friends, had been working with Rocking the House for several years. Though she was reluctant to stick her neck out for me, she promised she’d push my most recent piece through. I’d even convinced her to let me come in and check up on it in person.
