A publisher listing on QueryTracker is not an endorsement or recommendation of that publisher by QueryTracker.
Before contacting a publisher, authors should verify and assess the publisher's requirements and suitability by visiting the publisher's website(s), and becoming familiar with ways to spot and avoid bad publishers. A good place to start is Writers Beware, a watch group that helps inform and protect authors from shady practices.
Takes too long to prepare for submission and to follow guidelines. I think I'll go back to self publishing. I could have spent the time I spent getting submitting on editing and revising the manuscripts I'm working on for self publishing. There's no guarantee with you submit a query to a publisher or agent that your manuscript will get published - so all the work, time and effort is for what? Likely for nothing. I don't know why I let myself get sucked into attempting traditional publishing. And i have gotten offers to traditionally publish in which the terms were unacceptable to me.
I expect to add a reject to this comment.
