I submitted short publications years ago (1980's) and the reply on the rejection slips were.

1. We cannot make money on such a narrow reader based subject.
My pamphlet? "The eyes have it."

A pamphlet based on a book called "Fashion from ancient Egypt to the present day" 1976 copyright showing the invention of a thing called PANTS by a 'nomadic' people called Israel.

2. It is easy to see that lots of work and research went in to this work.
We are looking for work that is not so detailed.
We already have lots of books that cover this subject.

They had 2 then and neither covered this subject matter.

The MS came back unopened, unread.

My pamphlet? Whose Image: An Exposition of Gen 1:26.

But they sure can sell that Trinitarian and 'other' Christian books.

and you expected to get that published by a religeous organization that has for years bridled it's women with a scripture (Dt 22:5) ripped from the law and horribly misinterpreted.

PPH - not WEC as a whole.


Regardless, it's not amazon.com either, you know?

I have heard PPH is shutting down and a publishing company in TN. will be doing the publishing.
