sample requested?? 2022.11.17

I really don't know what to make of this. I'm very far along in the self publishing path now so don't really care any more other than curiosity. Lot of oddities here, 10 months to respond? Manuscript requested before sample chapter? Not really sure what to make of this but interesting to see where it goes.

Update 2022.11.18
Had a 15 minute conversation on the phone and he wants a second chapter.

Update 2022.11.21
After the second chapter said there wasn't enough tension and that the story doesn't really work as a memoir, needs a wider viewpoint. He said he loves the idea of this book but that it would be a hard sell to publishers.

Oh, well, It will be in bookstores in January regardless.

Kind of like that you submit the whole manuscript right away.

Very nice personal e-mail with feedback on why he didn't think he could sell it. Tried to call me, as well. Told me to send my next project to him. Overall good experience!!

I got a 403 error, Access Denied, when I attempted to submit. Has anyone else ever encountered this error?

Thank you for your submission to The Zack Company, Inc. Please forgive this form response. The number of queries and submissions currently being received prevents us from personally responding to each.

Though we appreciated the opportunity to carefully consider your work, we've determined that it doesn't meet the current needs of our list, so we’re going to pass on it. Thank you, again, for your interest.

Further to @travishime's 6 August 2021 comment, I found this blurb on authorcoach(dot)com, which explains Zack's relationship with Endpapers Press: "Andrew Zack, literary agent and author coach, is a genuine publishing entrepreneur. Founder of The Zack Company, Inc., a literary agency representing authors of fiction and nonfiction, as well as Author Coach, LLC, an author-services firm representing independent editors and assisting authors in revising and refining their works, he has...launched Endpapers Press, a 'managed self-publishing' solution for authors interested in bringing their works out as reprint or original eBooks or print-on-demand editions."

Thanks Narrative_Storyteller. They moved their form. It's fixed now.

WOW. I didn't even recall sending this query out, it's been almost a year since (9.2021) - however, just received a FULL MANUSCRIPT REQUEST!

Submission form worked for me. "Than you for your submission!" (although they need to proofread their website ;)
