I was told by an agent that Horror writers weren't worth representing.

For submissions: I'll need you to send me a photo of you standing on your head while you write your query. It should be exactly 555 words long and contain the phrase 'professionally edited by God'. DO NOT ATTACH A manuscript, or physically mail me a SWAK manuscript or try to phone me at my private address (an FBI warrant will be issued). After submission, due to volume, I may get back to you by the time your corpse begins to waft formaldehyde vapors up through the worm casings that riddle the ground above your grave. Or, then again, I may never get back to you, which, in that case, means your inverted photo lacked that certain 'je ne sais quoi'. Good luck! And may the adze ever be your shaver."<br /><br />If any business needs to be disrupted by a Deepmind instance that learns what "good" means more than this business, I don't know what it might be (aside from campaign reform).<br /><br />Dave Clinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10723925328649290981noreply@blogger.com
