In publishing, the slush pile is the set of unsolicited query letters or manuscripts sent either directly to the publisher or literary agent by authors, or to the publisher by an agent not known to the publisher.
The infamous slush pile, the place where no writer wants their manuscript to end up but, unless they have a good and well-known agent, is where it will inevitably land. In other words, it’s where the little-known or unknown writers end up if they can’t rope themselves the right agent.
On The Writer’s Scrap Bin, though, the Slush Pile is exactly where these writers want to be. It’s where I highlight the little-known/unknown writers and works I have read and reviewed. This list will be changing constantly, so keep a constant eye on it. To read my reviews of the books, follow the links below the gallery.
