Edit ProfileCareer
Literary Rejections On Display Caschetta began the blog Literary Rejections On Display anonymously in 2007 identifying herself only as Writer, Rejected. The blog was initially composed solely of Caschetta"s rejections from literary journals with all personal information crossed out. As the blog gained in popularity she began to post anonymous submissions from readers that had been sent to her.
Caschetta also used the blog to anonymously chronicle her own journey with her novel, and her efforts to obtain an agent and publish the work.
Caschetta put the blog on hiatus in 2012 before returning in 2014 with the news that she had sold her novel. On November 7, 2014 she wrote a blog post in which she revealed herself as Bachelor of Medicine Caschetta, and the novel she had been trying to publish as Miracle Girls.
In 1996 Caschetta published a collection of short stories Lucy on the West Coast and Other Lesbian Short under the name Mary Beth Caschetta.
