I think that's her plan. She was a bit disillusioned with knock backs, until I sent her a list of 50 odd famous(?) writers that got rejected, some many times. Ernest Hemingway, Agatha Christie, J. K. Rowling, Isaac Asimov etc. That perked her up a bit ;-)

Everyone gets rejections. Something that's hard to fully appreciate when you're starting out is how much quite good stuff gets rejected for bad fit or "we already have one of those" or just timing.
