At the same AWP critique plate, Johnny Temple, editor of Akashic Books, one independent publisher [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], accepts unsolicited manuscripts from unagented authors of mostly fiction [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], noir and some political nonfiction. He also accepts emailed cover letters and bios. His philosophy is, 'how almost going directly to the writer?' He enjoys the mind of getting to know the lyricist well. Further, he says that requiring namely authors have agents namely a quite lessen outlook; he doesn't favor the idea of big houses competing over the same book. What about the additional large books out there waiting to be read? His small press shakes off the beaten way.

Writers' Agents
But it is just to ask, is acquiring an agent the only possible way for a writer to succeed at getting published and acquiring attention? Apparently not, since there are publishing houses who have voiced a different opinion and who are willing to make straight adjoin with an author as a feasible discretion.
The means of using proxies as go-betweens makes sense:Publishing companies occasionally receives hundreds of manuscript submissions per year, extra than their editorial staff can take on. Agents have built relationships with editors and issuing houses which most writers do no. They tin accordingly usually find the right house as the right writer and vice versa.
If you ask most publishers - particularly of the bigger houses - whether they ever accept unsolicited manuscripts, or the so-called 'slush-pile,' most of them will differentiate you point blank NO. For example, at the AWP Conference held this year in Manhattan, speaking on a panel about how editors procure books [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 3 out of the five representative editors said that the most of their donations, if only all, are agented (Norton, Harper Collins, and Viking).
But how does his staff of 4 or 5 peruse through entire the writings they receive? They fair do. While they are at present above hiatus in accepting current writings, they are disbursing close consideration to promoting the manuscripts they have already accepted. Kate Nitze of MacAdam Cage has also base a direction to mitigate the problem of unlimited unsolicited manuscripts; her house accepts unagented manuscripts for a limited time - Feb. 1 - June 1 of every year.
