After listening to editors and agents speak, I salute the great work they perform in their quest for that great manuscript. When they mention The Slush Pile, I wonder what that repository of hope, that monument of potential looks like?
Love how the potential best-seller languishes near the bottom in a cheery yellow box/envelope. We don't want to be in that pile, Lupe. We wants an agent! :)
ReplyDeleteDear Ms. W.
ReplyDeleteHaven't we all heard the miracle story of the meek, but great manuscript saved from slush pile oblivion? Do I hear an amen?
Sincerely,

Love the visual, that's so funny! And cash bribes...I wonder if it'll really lift my ms to the top. Might have to wipe the dust off my wallet.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Lupe - hilarious again - how adorable.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. I think I am on the purple layer of materials from conference attendees.
ReplyDeleteJulie - Perhaps a credit card will suffice. I've heard the whole country uses them.
ReplyDeleteASterling - Thanks for patronizing Pen & Ink
Sue - I want the cookies near the top.
