"An astonishing amount of drivel"

... is the way Rob Meadows depicted the 6 - 7,000 unsolicited manuscripts that Inner Traditions - Bear & Co. receives each year. "Research your topic. Read our guidelines, and your work will stand out", Rob said.

We spent the next 45 minutes talking about what Rob and his colleagues, the Acquisitions Editor and the President of IT-B&C, look for in potential projects, as well as their unique strategy in acquiring successful titles. I'll be compiling my notes on that conversation, along with a follow-up interview, for inclusion in the 2006 Occult Authors Market. I think it'll be an invaluable aid for aspiring authors who want to become published authors.
