Apparently, Fake Editors Aren't an Urban Legend
But, one reader assures me, sending out rejection letters under false names, in the hopes of avoiding long, tiresome correspondence with would-be writers, really has happened—at at least one company. "I worked at a publishing house which used a 'fake' contact for slush submissions and rejections," this woman emails. "The name used was the maiden name of the deceased mother of one of the editors." (As far as she knows, though, the practice was discontinued a while back, and unsolicited manuscripts are simply directed to unnamed category editors.) Email This Post |
