There seems to be a widespread perception that self-pubbing is the only way to break in these days, and of course the "self"-publishing companies are not in any hurry to disabuse people of this notion.AlaskaRavenclawnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-9487634602986662422014-10-17T09:24:31.717-04:002014-10-17T09:24:31.717-04:00Permission granted.Permission granted.Evil Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03879826770199639420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-82496422366034503832014-10-17T00:48:18.490-04:002014-10-17T00:48:18.490-04:00People are allowed to send in queries for differen...People are allowed to send in queries for different books?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-41771569089570355312014-10-16T00:26:49.445-04:002014-10-16T00:26:49.445-04:00Maybe all the writers who've discovered Evil E...Maybe all the writers who've discovered Evil Editor have already submitted queries for all their books. Maybe we need to find a way to reach writers who haven't found us here, who are sending out their queries without our feedback, getting rejected, and giving up on careers as writers. It's sort of like if no one had shown Bill Gates how to program his Commodore 64, he might have tossed it in the trash and become a porn movie director. Maybe if we schedule a deluge of #EvilEditor tweets we could trend on Twitter and writers would find us.Evil Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03879826770199639420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-2960986600813775092014-10-15T21:17:03.794-04:002014-10-15T21:17:03.794-04:00Cav, one guess I have (speaking from experience as...Cav, one guess I have (speaking from experience as both a commenter and a submitter) would be that while people may be totally able to accept honest constructive criticism, they're less eager to subject themselves to outright ridicule, especially when that ridicule often comes not as the result of the actual text but out of the commenter's own false assumptions about the text or off-topic ramblings.SBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-65566609954943386702014-10-15T16:20:05.543-04:002014-10-15T16:20:05.543-04:00I'll take one.

It seems that since the recession, the number of queries have dropped. Maybe more people are employed now and have less time. ?
