7 Days in Hell and Black Rabbit Island

These are pictures of my nano 06 novel and Valpot's nano 06 novel, Black Rabbit Island (it is really excellent) both published by The Disresponsible Nodpots

A scary step

I've been doing research into horror publishers the last few days. I started by trawling through the Writers Handbook, but didn't find many horror publishes there (although there were some very obscure specialist publishes like publishing houses that only take books about Scottish tea cakes written by midgets). Then I tried another track. I looked up Amazon to see who published the horror books I've read, and then I looked up their websites and listings in the Writers Yearbook to see if they took unsolicited submissions, and what their guidelines were.

With that in mind, I set about doing up a submission package. The synopsis, as always, was harder than disemboweling yourself. I think I got it into good shape, proof read the first thirty pages yet again and wrote up a letter. When I printed it all out, I thought it looked pretty good. I posted it off this morning.

Don't get me wrong, I love the D.N publications. I just thought I would try and get a wider distribution.

I've about three months to wait for a reply.

Pictures of me
