Thanks for the link. DAW books site actually states that they don't look at submissions under 80k. (gives me hope, lol) I wanna meet the person who wrote these guidelins: The question that puzzles us the most is, "What are the odds of getting published by Tor?" That is, what is our ratio of acceptance to rejection for manuscripts in our slush pile? Answer: for very good books, the odds are excellent. For books we don't like, the odds are abysmal. No other measurement is meaningful. If we have a month in which we don't see any manuscripts we like, we don't buy manuscripts we dislike just to keep up our acquisition rate. If you absolutely have to have a rough estimate of our rejection rate, the answer is that we reject most of them. But look at it this way: if you don't send us your manuscript, the odds that we'll publish it approach absolute zero. It's your call. How's that for honest, lol? Writing is putting words on the paper until the voices in your head shut up. --Frank Fradella ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **
