Guaranteed immortality | Living with rejection | Going like hot cakes | Poetry in lotion | The failure of IA
Bob Brody, you may not yet have achieved great heights as a novelist, but your genius as an inventor should guarantee your immortality (‘Stay true to yourself – and fly closer to the sun’: what I’ve learned from 50 years of rejection, 8 October). The illustration published with your article shows you at work on your typewriter, which appears to take in shredded paper and convert it to a sheet of A4 as you type. Genius.

• I enjoyed Bob Brody’s piece on learning to live with rejection, but I’m not expecting this letter to be published.
