| I sent out a query and proposal today to Strategic Book Publishing. They had accepted my query and proposal via a online form.
Now to see if they will accept my teen book Evolution of the Fallen. |

| RUN AWAY! I cannot say that with enough emphasis. This outfit is a scam run by Robert Fletcher/West of Writer's Literary Agency infamy.
Here is a link to a long thread of about him and his various literary scams:

He is also being investigated by the Florida Attorney General:

| Yes, I heard from them also. They invite the author to "share in the investment." They also make other suggestions in a very professional way regarding editors and marketing. I found them delightful to correspond with as I could see my "investment" growing. |

| How did you even find Strategic? What book do you know of that has been published by them? Are they listed in Writer's Market?
Just wondering, since there seem to be so many people that query this outfit. Why, when there's so much information out there about it?
As an aside, there was a thread at Writers.net awhile back that challenged posters to get a query turned down by Fletcher, lol. The "queries" people sent were hilarious, and all were accepted. |

| Thank you Carlisle...
I understand. I made a mistake, I deffinitly will be sorting out this by withdrawing my manuscript.
I am still working on the synopsis and query still...they had a online submission form.
I am beginning to think the ones with online submission forms could be, well, bad. LOL
thanks guys. |
