Way back in 1961 a 14 year-old writer had the audacity to submit an unsolicited short story to Spaceman Magazine. That bold young author was undeterred by the rejection of his work and kept at it.

Unsurprisingly, Forrest Ackerman, the editor who gave King his first rejection, eventually published the story in a new periodical thirty-three years later.
