Reject

 

Becky’s novel – rejected? The light
Of our age kept unfairly from sight?
Publishers she critiques.
They’re a bunch of vile freaks
For perceiving that Becky can’t write!

 

–Tom Riley

 

This exactly. One publisher who rejected my ms because my writing is "undisciplined" (unfortunate wording since he was apparently involved in inappropriate workplace behavior) routinely publishes delicately unreadable works that are period pieces as soon as they're born.
