Hey Matt, I actually already have a version of Renegade published and ready start distribution through CreateSpace. I will fall back on the self-promotion route if I run can’t find a publisher or agent interested enough to run with it. Good to hear from you.

Perhaps consider self-publishing (lulu.com) and then marketing it yourself. I don’t have any experience with that, but is my plan if I need to publish my manuscript (which also got rejected from everyone)

No worries Stephanie. I’ve plenty of kind words to spare. Cheers.

Stephanie – Other than the obvious disappointment, I have no complaints about my interactions with DAW and Tor. Their responses were professional, courteous, and faster than advertised. Both groups are first class imprints in every way.

The other publishers I’ve found in the genre who accept unsolicited submissions are harder to run background checks on, and harder to find on bookstore shelves. So I’m leaning toward agents for my next round of query letters.

Best of luck to you on Jenri and Beast, and thanks for reading!

At least you heard quickly.

If my current quest comes to naught, I will definitely pursuing the agent route.
