Another rejection email received.
It appears that British publishers are not interested in naval biography unless it has 'Nelson' in the title.
Unfortunately for the reading public, there was a lot more to the sailing navy than Nelson. Without the dedicated men who trained and nurtured the officers and crews that Nelson led at Trafalgar, there would have been no navy for Nelson to lead. He would have looked a right donkey then!
Without biographies these brave and dedicated officers remain hidden behind the smoke and noise of the Nelson legend. Very unfortunate.
Self-publishing is still an option for me and I have the where-withal to make it into an e-book. But I will give it a little longer in an attempt to have it published in paper form by a commercial publisher.
