Wakan rejected again

Right, we resubmitted Wakan Unwanted #0, 1 and 2 to Apple, this time with two pages of background on the Wakan universe and an outline of the story. No luck. #1 has been rejected again, and we fear #0 and #2 will suffer the same fate.

The next step will be to rewrite some dialogue and resubmit again. At least then we will know if it is the language they are rejecting, or if they have a more fundamental problem with the story.

As Apple hasn’t provided any more info on this, we will get in touch with other relevant actors for their take on the book. So far, no one else has mistaken the intent of Wakan Unwanted.

And – just for the record – the book’s intent is strongly anti-racist, in line with the convictions that Seth and I have always held.

Norwegian writer Eirik Newth has been covering the AppStore a while. You can read about his take on Apple’s rejection of Wakan Unwanted on his blog.
