To be very honest — nobody actually said this. AI wrote it in the style of the archive to keep this page from feeling empty while we chase down real quotes. Enjoy the fiction responsibly.
“To be perfectly honest, we stopped reading unsolicited manuscripts in 2019. The entire slush pile goes straight to an intern who sends the same rejection template to everyone. If your book doesn't come through an agent we already drink with, it's invisible.”
