I've just signed up for Authonomy, Harper Collins' new way of dealing with the problem of the slush pile. It's an intriguing twist on solving an old problem. Basically, they've decided to let us all slug it out and they'll read the five who come out on top every month.
Wow. What a concept.
I like the idea of competing, but I'm not sure about the contestants also being the judges in this bout. Of course, if I come out at the top of the heap, I'll be touting the method on street corners.
If I lose, I think I'll just go back to the old fashioned method of shopping my manuscript around to various agents and small publishers.
It's a rough old world out there, folks.
