Question List for Publishers

This is a suggested list of questions for publishers to get you started  You can adlib, add or delete questions as you'd like.

_______________________________

Would you like to share a little history about (insert publishing house name)?

Who are your key personnel?

What are the most common reasons a novel (especially a Science Fiction Romance novel) is rejected?

What are the biggest mistakes new authors make?

What do you look for in a Science Fiction Romance submission?

What grabs your attention, makes you sit up and want to read more?

How far do you read into a submission before you know if the novel is right for you?

Do you have recommendations or requirements regarding "heat levels" of submissions?

Tell me about a few of your favorite/best-selling Science Fiction Romances novels. What really stood out in these stories that made them unique? (They can include covers, blurbs and links here if they’d like)

What are you looking for right now? What kinds of submissions would you like to see pop up in your e-queries? Anything you’re dying to see more of? Steampunk? Futuristic? Space Opera? Any dream novels?

(And of course, be sure to thank them for their time.)
