I replied to his first message apologising for the mistake and explaining why it had happened and his second reply was much nicer. So I won't hold it against him. Life's too short.Colette McCormickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00383068332228040704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903386787317265543.post-83758243363735741212009-05-03T23:26:00.000+01:002009-05-03T23:26:00.000+01:00I think the editor was out of order to be curt. It...I think the editor was out of order to be curt. It wasn't your fault. The newsletter just made a mistake. If you want to submit to this publishing house - remember most won't accept unsolicited MS - I think you could write a polite covering letter explaining the situation. <br /><br />...perhaps the editor was curt because he'd received hundreds of emails from aspiring writers who'd read the same news item as you... I'd still give it a go. What have you got to lose?<br /><br />I'm extraordinarily lucky that my publisher lives locally to me, but that had nothing to do with my MS being accepted. Publishers rarely accept unsolicited MS and then only if they think the book might sell. That has to be the bottom line for a publisher who invests time and a lot of money in producing a book. <br /><br />Good luck with it anyway. And please visit my blog. Comments from fellow writers are always welcome.Leigh Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15080517449825380527noreply@blogger.com
