Order of the Slush

Welcome to the Order of the Slush.

We are the lowest of knightly Orders: we are the wielders of the unsolicited, unagented manuscript. Many agents fear us. Many editors loathe us. Most non-readers have never heard of us. But we are known by our piles of slush.

Our weapon: the unsolicited, unagented manuscript. Do not underestimate it. It has caused countless headaches and a significant number of papercuts.

Our quest: to hunt that elusive dragon, Publication. (Not her fledgling sister, Self-publication.)

Come back soon to talk writing with Sir Slush, frequenter of slush piles from here to Camelot.
