Rejecting Jane Austen

[mcroft]

Not a bad little stunt. Some guy submitted the first three chapters of Pride And Prejudice to major publishers, and most of them didn't recognize it.

I'm not 100% convinced that the ones that didn't respond at all actually read it, but the guy is assuming that they didn't notice because they didn't comment.

I bet he could get it published by Publish America...

I bet that none of them failed to recognize it. Many of them just figured it was a crazy idiot who sent it in, and ignored it. Publishers get submissions like this all the time.
