I Did Get the Query Off
>> Tuesday, April 20, 2010
It's been a tough week, with lots of family stuff. I might not get to more querying until this weekend. Or I might send off some short stories. But first, more research.

Hope it works out for you... btw what genre are you querying?
Fantasy
I have some info for you... the top two fantasy publishers don't care if you have a agent and better yet the prefer to see the manuscript at bare minimum the want sample chapters...
They say you can't judge a work by a query so don’t bother sending one. Let me get the links I’ll be back...
All want to see chapters or the whole manuscript... and of course a book proposal. Best of luck, hope this helps if you don't want to go the query route. I left you links of the info on Submission Guidelines, should tell you all you need to know..

BAEN I don’t like their website but supposed to be a big time publisher of fantasy, not to mention they like large books. Right up your alley.

I've actually hit them both already. Sad, but true.
well, best of luck either way...
I didn't meant to be dismissive or seem that way. I appreciate the links, agree that that would be a good try and certainly hope those links will help someone else.
I did try them myself, but it didn't work.
Thank you for the links and the advice, though.
I didn't mean it that way... i meant best of luck either way, like either way you go. with an agent or publisher.
here are a few good link to publishers, ones i would submit to if i was ready. i have checked them out... all of them are solid or true book publishers. thx hope they help.
More links to good publishers that except unsolicited queries or sample chapters.
