On the Survival of Rats in the Slush Pile is an essential ebook for writers. It can save you years of work and heartache. ‘As a some-day, would-be author, I found it an eye-opener.’ Roy Jacobsen, writingclearandsimple.com ‘Every aspiring writer should read it.’ Tonto Books blog. ‘The only serious and innovative piece of writing about fiction publishing that I have seen is by the British author, publisher and literary blog writer, Michael Allen. He has written a quirky, thought-provoking piece.’ Robert Elwood Burns In this recently revised essay (22,500 words) Michael Allen describes the hopelessly inefficient and irrational ways in which publishers and agents deal with the unpublished manuscripts which are sent to them by as-yet-unknown writers. The result is that success for writers is governed by randomness (chance) to a far greater extent than is generally realised. This creates serious problems. Allen then outlines some practical strategies through which writers can improve their chance of success despite the many obstacles. Michael Allen has been involved in the book trade for over fifty years, and his first novel was published in 1963. In this book he enhances his reputation for providing practical assistance to unpublished writers. Those who are already published will also find plenty to help them to develop their careers.
