• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

Thanks, I send to Baen back in March, but you have to wait 9 - 12 months. DAW (penguin) require 3 months exclusive and a full printed novel. Hm. ;)

I sent to Baen in May; I'm taking a look at the others now!

Tor has a very low word requirement, and DAW only accepts hard-copy submissions. It will be expensive for me to print out my 265k manuscript, but I can hardly expect them to publish it if I won't print it out myself. That used to be the only way to do it, and how awesome would it be for Penguin Books to pick me up!
 
Perhaps @Jason Byrne you could print out a sample and explain the magnitude of your book. I can imagine their faces when the largest UPS box turns up on their desk :) They may decide to allow an email submission for you lol

You know what, or e-mail them first and ask them how they handle situations like that. You raise an excellent point. Worse-case, they will just say "don't bother," and I'm not out anything.
