Would you believe, a staggering 473 rejection letters? That's what I'd call commitment, in her not giving up.
DiCamillo submitted her books to several publishers. She received in return 473 rejection letters.

DiCamillo's first book to be accepted for publication was "Because of Winn-Dixie" by Candlewick Press, a story about a girl who finds a stray dog and takes it home.
