SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Follow THEIR directions!!!
Each publisher has their own set of submission guidelines and they are a test to see if you can follow directions. If you deviate from their guidelines, your book will probably be summarily discharged without anyone ever looking at the content.
You may feel that you and your book are special enough to break their rules, but they receive so many books, they do not even look at the content unless their guidelines have been met. Letters pleading with them to 'just look' or 'just give it a chance' will be ignored.
Slush piles have grown over the last few years, with the advent of computers and mail merge software. Simultaneous submissions are allowed by most publishers. However, because it is so easy to send out multiple submissions, everyone is doing it and publisher's slush piles have grown by the same incredible factor.
If your submission is formatted correctly on a 8 x 11 page, double spaced with the appropriate margins, you have approximately the first 16 lines of your manuscript showing on the first page. Most people going through slush piles will only read that far. Make it great!
