Getting your work noticed is hard, never mind getting it published. Everyone knows what happens to manuscripts that end up in the slush pile, right? Well, not at Slush Pile Reader, because in this slush pile every single manuscript will get a fair chance! The workings of Slush Pile Reader are simple: 1. Writers submit a manuscript. 2. Readers read and collectively decide which manuscripts should be published. 3. Slush Pile Reader edits, publishes, distributes and promotes the manuscripts that have been selected by the readers. There are no costs or fees involved in the process for either the readers or the authors. Slush Pile Reader will, like any reputable publisher, be responsible for all costs involved in publishing a selected manuscript; editing, printing, marketing, distribution etc. Slush Pile Reader was born out of the idea of combining the power of the global reach of the Internet, the preferences and knowledge of readers, and the creativity of writers. After all, it is the readers who buy books, so why shouldn't the readers themselves be able to decide which books are published? Slush Pile Reader believes that the common knowledge of a large group of readers is the most interesting, and valid, means of determining the value of a particular manuscript. After mounds of research and thought, Slush Pile Reader was conceived in San Francisco in 2007 by Johanna and Pascal Denize, in San Francisco. A beta site was launched in 2009. With a team of unbelivably talented and inspired techs, communication specialists and book professionals Slush Pile Reader will help make great new literature available to the world! All of us at Slush Pile Reader have certain things in common - we love books, we love to read and we all want to find the next great novel. It is as simple as that. We know that there are writers out there with unbelievably good manuscripts but no way of reaching an audience. We believe that Slush Pile Reader is the perfect way to help these manuscripts become published books available to all and everyone!
