They couldn't reasonably accept such submissions via email. They might accept such submissions via a form on their website.John Kremerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16486115512048790419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10284418.post-1164990708249241032006-12-01T08:31:00.000-08:002006-12-01T08:31:00.000-08:00Actually Baen Books prefers electronic submissions, and I think there are a number of other small publishers who do also.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10284418.post-1128211027509316932005-10-01T16:57:00.000-07:002005-10-01T16:57:00.000-07:00Great blog here!

RE. unsolicitated submissions by email, you're absolutely right. Submitting by email without prior permission is one way to brand yourself an amateur in the eyes of a publisher and ruin any future chances of publishing with them. However, once a writer has written for a certain publisher, it's not uncommon to turn in future manuscripts strictly by email. I haven't used a postage stamp for years, except for returning contracts. <br /><br />Many publishers will accept queries by email, but I sure wouldn't take the risk and guess. Check writer's resources (Writer's Market online is a great example, and is updated regularly--well worth the annual fee for access) to be sure before taking that leap.<br /> ~Bonnie~MacroMomentshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12148298530458168683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10284418.post-1107288043805818372005-02-01T12:00:00.000-08:002005-02-01T12:00:00.000-08:00The number 80% of all book sales are made as a result of word-of-mouth is a number I heard once. I don't remember who said it or how they came by that number. But the number makes sense to me, in my own experience of publishing as well as my experience with so many other publishers and authors.<br />Is the number right? Gee, I don't know. But it is good enough to be right. Creating word-of-mouth is essential to good book promotion.John Kremerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16486115512048790419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10284418.post-1107260142707027202005-02-01T04:15:00.000-08:002005-02-01T04:15:00.000-08:00Hi John - pls tell me more about your comment about 80% of books being sold by word of mouth.
