FOLLOW THE RULES: an article on following the rules of the playground -- because if you don't, we won't let you play in the sandbox.

You know, I don't know of that many mss that broke the rules that ended up published anyway.

Certainly I do not have any stories of people submitting on pink paper or sending me the entire ms. unsolicited who I published.

I know that Suzanne Brockmann's story of how she got her first book published is totally unorthodox, but I tend to see that as the 1% exception rather than the 99% rule, especially since she wasn't involved in the community of writers the way someone entering the Golden Heart contest is.
