The Publishing company BareBone Books is set to launch in January 2011, and the company's ethos is very different to that of most 'traditional' publishing bodies. David Wilson, the founder of BareBone Books wants his publishing catalogue to be filled with titles that have been rejected by publishing companies in the past. So if you have a previously rejected manuscript sitting in that top drawer of your study desk, now is the time to locate it and breathe some new life back into it.
There are conditions around the type of manuscripts that BareBone Books will go on and publish in the future. Wilson states; "we wish to deal with manuscripts that have received a minimum of three rejection letters by authors with a track record." So you need to have had at least one other manuscript fully published before you can be considered as a writer for BareBone Books. Wilson also urges interested writers not to send unsolicited manuscripts in. Instead he wants to see a summary of the book (aka a synopsis) and copies of the rejection letters you have received for the manuscript first.
